"Powerful Katrinka" hajs on two occasions disappointed the fans by her failure to come on the air. Her real trouble was 1 discovered, lata yesterday, when it was learned that a piece of apparatus manufactured byi a reputable concern did not function properly, due to Improper construction. Preston Allen, who ir supervising the Installation, set to work rebuilding this particular piece of apparatus, and the fans may hear "Powerful Katrinka" any evening. The program last night was furnished by W.

Notte-brock's voice is one which, carries well and the llsteners-ln have nt trouble tuning him in. The entertainment tomorrow evening will be furnished by the Irvine sisters of Berkeley, Miss Ethel and Shirley Irvine, professional whistlers, and graduates of Hiss Agnes Woodward's Bchool of Artistic Whistling at Los Angeles. They -were recently on concert tour of the north, and have appeared at many chatauquas. They put a a whistling chorus at the GreeS theater iiBerkeley last year.

It la found that the smaller sizes of transmitting tubes function very satisfactorily when employed In the clrcuit of the "puBh-pull" amplifier, although higher plate voltage must be used than with the ordinary amplifier It is also Important to employ fibes for the "push-pull" circuit' which are similar in their operating characteristics so. that the circuit will be balanced. Study of the diagram shown above discloses that tho circuit for either tube singly, in the second step, is the same as the usual form of amplifier, the addition of the other tube requiring merely an additional winding on each of the two transformers, or possibly tapping the windings at the middle.
