Edmund J. Sawyer of the Roosevelt Wild Life Forest Experiment Station in Syracuse N Y concludes after long forest blind watching that the muffled drumming of the ruffed grouse or partridge is produced by the bird striking the air with its wings rather than by drumlike beating.
A Southwestern Collegian quip features a dialogue where a daughter asks about an iith stone and the father jokes that it is a grindstone. The playful exchange highlights a family moment with rural humor.
Sawyer argues the bird’s outward and upward wing motion creates the drum sound. He notes the grouse uses a hollow log as a concert platform and spins before drumming, usually facing the same direction. He compares the drumming to bird song in function and origin.

An article by R. F. Humphreys discusses smoothing selectivity and control in multi stage radio frequency amplifiers. It contrasts tuned and untuned transformers, semi tuned setups, and the use of tuned impedances like variometers for reliable, simple operation.
A compact variometer built from junk-pile parts allows portable use with little space. It uses continually variable inductance to avoid a variable condenser and employs a hinge mount with a brass brace for the coils to form a continuous circuit in one turning direction.
This guide shows ardent radio fans how to craft an attractive dial from brass, with a central shaft hole and two knob holes. It covers cleaning, acid etching, tin foil finishing, ink markings, knob creation, shaft fastening, and a varnish coat for tarnish resistance.
