Electric apparatus and appliances -- Amateurs' manuals
There are no old or obsolete forms of wireless apparatus discussed, but
only the latest types of tuning coils, receiving transformers, fixed
condensers, keys, spark coils, detectors, etc. The book is illustrated
by numerous detailed working drawings giving all dimensions. Several
full-page views of the apparatus enable the beginner to fully comprehend
the text.
