An envoy to Ireland has been appointed as Lie Astaunister for the Tishree State. The appointment follows Sleylthg’s active service across the globe and in all regions of the world, marking a broad experience record.
Engineering note explains a method to remove storage batteries by using a plate supply with a biasing network. It details circuit components like R8 R9 RC in series, a bypass capacitor, and an adjustable high resistance voltmeter to set bias. The setup enables power amplification directly to a radio using only dry cell tubes, avoiding separate storage batteries.
Article outlines sources of noises in radio sets and practical fixes. Advice covers loose tube sockets worn batteries and chemical action inside aging cells, testing batteries with a voltmeter, inspecting wiring with a wooden probe, tight solder joints, and replacing faulty components to restore quiet operation.
A compact note urges saving old wire pieces found around the radio table. Tucked in a cardboard box or under the table, such discarded wire proves useful for lubrication, tempering, and odd household tasks. Keep scraps in a drawer or closet for handy repurposing.
Fragmented text warns to keep battery plates immersed and examine cells. It mentions edges bulging and potential rupture from water leakage, emphasizing careful handling and monitoring of battery internals. The garbled wording obscures specifics but hints at safety concerns around electrolyte and plate condition.
According to authority the term state once a technical word for a disturbance in radio reception caused by natural electrical discharges has broadened. Carl Dreher notes many use it for arbitrary noisy things whether on stage street or radio, while electrical turbines from motors cause interference not static.
A laboratory of the Standards Bureau conducts tests on dry-cell batteries from 20 manufacturers to measure internal dimensions, short-circuit readings, and open-circuit voltages. Tests will run for several months to evaluate durability and performance of the new dry batteries and gauging methods.
Fragmentary lines describe a chaotic broadcast with garbled phrases and stray names. The text hints at a station choosing not to discuss a “tp” and references unclear figures like Hind Boon and Hssel. The overall sense is a cryptic, unreadable item from a local page.
A fragment suggests condensers should not be repaired due to risk and cost. It argues that warming and pressing insulation sheets with compound yields a cheaper new condenser than attempting to repair an old unit, implying time and efficiency considerations favor replacement over repair.
A misread, scrambled notice says new radio beacons will be added to the nationwide United States Lighthouse Service network. It mentions beacons on the coasts and near the Gulf of Mexico, with fireworks of dates and agencies unclear.
National Geographic recounts a French aviators journey across Africa from Marseille skirts the Spanish coast to Dakar and on through Lokoja Timbuktu and Stanleyville to Mozambique. The piece highlights Dakar as a major port, colonial boundaries, and the varied peoples from Berbers to the Pygmies, with notes on lores, trade, and geography along the Niger Benue and Congo basins.
