Morgan, Alfred Powell
Electric apparatus and appliances -- Amateurs' manuals
It does not describe any old or obsolete forms of wireless apparatus but
only the latest types of aerials, spark coils, keys, gaps, condensers,
helixes, oscillation transformers, loose couplers, tuning coils,
detectors, loading coils, variable condensers, aerial switches, etc.
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DETAILED AND THOROUGH BOOKS EVER PUBLISHED.
The information is all intensely practical. Complete directions and
dimensions are given. Nothing is left to be guessed at. The book must
really be seen to be appreciated.
