RADIOTE-LEGRAPHYY.
' Application filed March 23,
To all whom it may conceriz:
Be it known that I, HAROLD F. ELLIOTT, a citizen of the'United States, and a resident of-Palo Alto, county of Santa Clara, and
State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements innRadiotelegraphy, of which the following is a specifi: cation.-
The invention relates to signaling and particularly to means for signaling with arc radio transmitters.
An object of the invention is to provide means for signaling by interrupting and reestablishing the arc.
Another object of the invention is to pro vide signaling means of the above men tioned type in which all moving parts are.
at 'earth potential.
The invention possesses other advantageous features, some-of which, with the foregoing, will be set forth at length in the following description, where I shall outline in closed in the chamber 10.
. generator 5 remains the same when the arc is burnlng and when the shunt circuit 1s] full that form of the invention which I have selected for illustration in the drawing accompanying and forming part of the present specification.
Thedrawing is a diagrammatic representation of one form of signaling system of my invention.
The transmission system comprises a Poulsen arc oscillation generator 2, which is grounded on the negative side and. connected on the positive side to the antenna 3 through the variable inductance 1. Direct current is supplied to the are by the generator 5, andcombined magnetic and choke coils 6 are arranged in'the positive lead from the generator, so that the arc is subjected to a strong transverse magnetic field. I The are is formed between the anode 7 and the 'cathode 8 in shunting the arc is a circuit containing a resistor 9 and means for opening and closing the circuit. The value of the resistance 9 is preferably so adjusted that the load on the closed. The means for opening and closing the shunt circuit comprises a stationary electrode '12 connected to the anode? through the resistor 9, which electrode isarranged within the arc chamber adjacent the anode.
Disposedadjacent the electrode 12 is a mov-{ able electrode 13 which is connected to the cathode 8 or to the groundedside of the genwithout danger. "[Iclaim:

'era'tor, the electrode 13. being also wholly or present instance the electrode being moved by a signaling key 14 connected to the electrode by thelink 15 and lever 16. The'electrode 13 is normally held in contact with the electrode 12 by a spring 17 so that when the key is depressed, the electrodes 12 and 13 are separated. ,As' the resistance circuit opened, an arc is produced between the electrodes 12 and 13, and this arc is blown into contact with the electrodes? and 8 by the magnetic field, thereby igniting the main arc. a
By'this arrangement of parts, the movable electrode and all m'ovable .parts are at earth potential, thus overcoming the difliculty of insulating them from earth and also permitting the adjustment of the movable electrode a cathode between which an arc is formed, a
stationary electrode arranged adjacent the anode and connected thereto, a resistor in the circuit between the stationary electrode and the anode, a movable electrodearranged adjacent the stationary electrode and connected 'to the cathode and means for moving the Specification or Letters Patent.

In an arc radio generator, an anode and acathode having an arc gap between them,
means for subjecting the arc gap to a strong transverse magnetic field, a resistance circuit 7 shunting the arc and a pair of separable electrodes in said circuit disposed with their points of separation in the magnetic field adjacent the arc gap. v
