SCR 68/68A: World War I Aircraft Transceiver
Flying in a World War I pursuit plane
must have been quite a breeze. You had a
leather cap for protection from the wind,
you had rocks and other small hand held
explosives to throw at ground targets and
you had pistols (later synchronized guns)
By Don Patterson
to shoot at other pilots. But best of all
you had cranky radios to communicate
with other airplanes.
One such device was the SCR-68 and
SCR-68A (Figure 1 & 2) used by squad-
Figure 1 SCR-68
ron commanders to talk with other
squadron commanders or to carry on two
way communication with ground stations.
Other planes in the squadron normally
would be equipped with the SCR59

receiving set only. The airwaves were
alive with this system somewhere in the
range of215 to 450 meters.
The label inside the SCR68 (Fig. 3)
shows the block diagram with a constant
voltage generator GNI which furnishes
the high voltages for the plates of the
tubes as well as for their filaments . In
addition there is a filter box, a BCIOA
Interphone box for permitting telephone
communication between the pilot and the
observer, two headsets and telephone
transmitters and the connecting cords.
Note ballast tube at right.
A complete circuit diagram of the
whole apparatus is shown in Figure 4 and
an actual wiring diagram is shown in
Figure 5. Figure 6 shows the schematic of
the transmitting circuit where you can see
a VT2 connected up as an oscillator to
generate undamped waves or high
frequency oscillations in the antenna
circuit. Plate voltages of 275 are provided
by the wind driven generator and TB I
regulator circuit. Modulation is accomplished by another VT2. Both tubes are
enclosed inside the tank circuit coil for
convenience and maximum utilization of
space.
The fan generator type FA7 is
mounted on the lariding gear strut (see
Radio Age Jan. 1988). The FA7 has a
metal propeller with a variable pitch
blade so that when wind velocity increases the pitch increases thereby
maintaining a constant speed of 4000
rpm. A wood fan type FA3 could be used
but speed would not be regulated.
An additional means of keeping
voltages constant was through use of a
3
TBl diode regulator. Another precaution
to maintain constant current in the
filament circuit was taken by use of a
ballast lamp mounted to the right of the
two VT2 tubes and .is connected in series
with the filaments. It has an iron filament
and is filled with hydrogen. Resistance is
function of the current flowing through it
As current increases the resistance also
increases thereby lowering the filament
voltage.
The receiving circuit is somewhat
conventional for the time and is shown in
Figures 2 and 4. It is comprised of a VTl
detector followed by two audio frequency
amplifiers coupled by means of iron core
chokes. Plate circuit of the receiver is
energized by a dry battery type BA-2 of
25 volts. Amplifier tube plates are
operated by two BA-2 batteries in series.
Wavelength, coupling and input switches
are located in the small covered panel.
As you can see from Figure 7 the set
is mounted in the rear cockpit with
antenna reel to left The filter box was
screwed to the fuselage floor, under the
forward seat or placed in the cockpit
under the dash. The pilot's interphone set
box was mounted where the operator
could reach it best In Figure 7 it's to the
right under the key.
A single trailing antenna type A-21
which is used for straight away flying
comprises a 4 foot length of cord made
fast to the reel at one end and tied at the
other end to a 290 foot length of antenna
wire. For airplanes flying in squadron
formation it is necessary to use a double
trailing antenna A23 as in Figure 8.
I like the folowing excerpt from
Signal Corps Pamphlet #29 where it says
"type SCR68 presents no special difficulties when simple rules are remembered:
1. Do not forget to inspect the set before
each flight (Rather elementary wouldn't
you say?)
2. Do not forget to plug in the telephone
transmitter and receiver plugs.
3. Do not forget to throw the "receivetransmit switch."
4. Do not talk rapidly. (You had to talk
slow because it was difficult to understand.)
5. Do not have the telephone transmitter
away from your mouth.
6. Do not cup the hands over the telphone
transmitter.
7. Do not shout into the telephone
transmitter.

8. Do not become impatient if you do not
hear signals immediately. (Wait and do
the coup de grace later when you are
thoroughly disgusted.)
9. Do not expect satisfactory operation
over more than five miles.
10. Do not touch any uninsulated parts
while the switch is on transmit. (You'll
be sorry if you do.)
11. Do not tinker with the set." (That' s a
kind way of saying do not kick it or hit
it.)
The SCR68 is the early version and
was superseded by the SCR68A. The
main differences were that the FA3
wooden propeller was used with the early
version and the plate blocking condenser
shown in the diagrams was not included
in the former. Telephone transmitter type
T-1 was used with the early version while
a T-3 was used in the SCR68A set. A

PART VI
By Walt Sanders
In January, 1920, eight years after the
invention of the electrodynamic speaker
(the Telemegafone), Magnavox introduced the Radio Magnavox -- an assembly of the Telemegafone with tin horn,
induction coil, and binding posts on a
base board. By March, 1921, two
versions of this assembly were the
standard; the Type R-2 for large crowds
and the R-3 for home use. The last
version of the R-3 was Model D, introduced in May, 1924 and the last version
of the R-2 was Model C, introduced in
August, 1925. The R-2 price dropped
from $93.00 to $50.00 and the R-3 from
$45.00 to $35.00.
Patents on the Telemegafone unit
gave Magnavox exclusive rights on the
manufacture and sale of electrodynamic
speakers. Or did it? Figures 6-1and6-2,
FIGURE 6-2
Figure 6-2. Electric Tone-A-Phone, from the files of Magnavox.
from Magnavox company files, show an
Electric Tone-A-Phone horn, remarkably
similar to the Type R-38 horn, introduced
in December, 1921. The identification
plate for this unit (see the drawing of this
plate in Figure 6-3) indicates it was
manufactured by Vitalis Rimmer, 203205 Sixth Avenue, New York.
An ad from the August, 1922 issue of
Radio News (Figure 6-4) shows a
Vitalitone horn speaker, the same unit as
in Figure 6-1 but with a production horn,
manufacured by Vitalis Rimmer, 205
Sixth Avenue, New York! Furthermore,
the ad states that the horn had been on the
market for three years. That is, by late
1919 or early 1920. Recall that January,
1920 was the date Magnavox introduced
the Radio Magnavox.
And there is more. In the same
August, 1922 Radio News is another ad
(Figure 6-5) showing the identical horn,

this time called the Vitali-Phone, but sold
by The Radio Shop of Newark, New
Jersey. (There is no mention of Vitalis
Rimmer.) One notes that this ad claims
the Vitali-Phone is "the only floating coil
Loud Speaker on the Market that is free
of distortion." Figure 6-6 shows yet
another ad {from Popular Radio, December, 1923) for an "R-3" type horn, sold
by the Walter Lytton Co. of Chicago.
One can only speculate what may
have been the connection between the
Magnavox Company and Vitalis Rimmer. Figure 6-1 clearly shows a prototype

horn rather than a production model. Was
Rimmer engaged to engineer the Radio
Magnavox, and given right of limited
manufacture and sales as a part of an
agreement? It is unlikely that Magnavox
would have photographs of a prototype in
their files if they were contemplating a
law suit for patent infringement.
Trivia question: What were the
Radiotikes? How many tikes were there?

Dear Don:
C. Douglas Houston's interesting
article about the Philco 'Beam of Light'
phono pi.c kup of the 40's reminded me of
the story at RCA about this rather
spectacular Philco promotion. According
to rumor the top brass at RCA attended
the seasonal radio trade show and were
astounded by Philco's 'Beam of Light'
feature which was a spectacular hit
RCA, the leader in records being scooped
in their field was unforgiveable. They
immediately called a meeting with the
receiver engineering department heads
and demanded to know why they had
overlooked this tremendous innovation.
The reply was simple, an engineer at
RCA had appropriated this principle from

the RCA variable area sound on film
patents and had demonstrated it to the
receiver sales department and the idea
had been turned down flat. The engineer
was angered and took his idea across the
river to Philco who saw its marketing
value and hired him. The result was a
significant boost for Philco, but fortunately for RCA the problems with the
Philco 'Beam of Light' pickup design
were so great and the fidelity so poor it
was soon discarded. Also, as I recall it
was claimed to infringe some valid RCA
sound on film reproduction patents.
From this fiasco we were told that
RCA and Philco worked out an agreement not to pirate each others engineers.
The above is from my recollections of
working at RCA in the 30's and 40's.
Don, I certainly enjoy the articles in
your publication. They often bring back
memories of the past years of my
association with radio and electronics.
The years with RCA were most interesting.

Recent Reproductions
One of our local department stores ran
this recently advertising a Crosley which
closely resembles a FADA Bullet It
comes complete with brass tags. Another
one of their Crosley sets is an exact copy
of a 1946 Belmont (P-69 Radios, The
Golden Age) and finally their last
Crosley is an exact copy of a Zenith
bakelite shown on P-71 of Radios, The
Golden Age. I wonder how Zenith likes
the last one. All of the above are produced by Thomas of Taiwan and sold for
$69.98.

Restoration Hint
Dear Mr. Patterson:
Please find enclosed sheet for your
Want Ads. Also enclosed please find a
SASE for the new 1988 index.
I also have a restoration tip you may
be interested in. I make up my own
cotton covered wire harnesses using
cotton bicycle handlebar tape. This
usually comes in a herringbone type
pattern and looks quite good. Just wrap
the harness like you would using electrical tape.
Sincerely,
Steven B. Hilty
