I am here to tell you it was just one punch, though a dandy; but he had tried to start a fight, so it was his own fault. So I took all his weapons away and when he come alive I kicked him a few times and made him go into the U.S. trenches. He didn't turn out to be much only a piano tuner from Milwaukee; and I wish it had of been a general I caught snooping.
For this experimental continuous wave telegraph transmitter get the following pieces of apparatus: one single coil tuner with three clips; one .002 mfd. fixed condenser; three .001 mfd. condensers; one adjustable grid leak; one hot-wire ammeter; one buzzer; one dry cell; one telegraph key; one 100 volt plate vacuum tube amplifier; one 6 volt storage battery; one rheostat; one oscillation choke coil; one panel cut-out with a single-throw, double-pole switch, and a pair of fuse sockets on it.
She shook her head warningly at Bob and motioned toward her husband. "I'd rather hear some music," put in Nancy. "Can't we?" There was an ascending wail from the tuner. "Ain't that a band?" cried Jerry excitedly. "It's an orchestra!" Nancy ejaculated in the same breath. "It's gone!" "We'll get it again," was Bob's confident answer as he twirled the knobs of both tuner and detector.
And I may tell mother you will prove your good friendship by taking the white elephant of a piano? May we send it right away? You see, since it must be moved at once, it had best come where it is to stay. And we'll send around a tuner. Please use it all you can, just to keep it in good shape." "I'm not the tiniest sort of a musician," said Sally regretfully.
The Oscillation Transformer. With an oscillation transformer you can tune much more sharply than with a single inductance coil tuner. The primary coil is formed of 6 turns of copper strip, or No. 9 copper wire, and the secondary is formed of 9 turns of strip, or wire. The primary coil, which is the outside coil, is hinged to the base and can be raised or lowered like the lid of a box.
"It was awfully clever of you," she said, "to get hold of a tuner. Who is he? Where did you find him?" "I found him in the park," said Miss Wollaston brightly, responding to the little thrill you always felt when Paula focused her attention upon you. "He was sitting on a bench when I drove by just after lunch.
The tuning coil is shown complete at B and it costs $3.00 or $4.00. A triple slide tuning coil constructed like the double slide tuner just described, only with more turns of wire on it, makes it possible to receive wave lengths up to 1,500 meters. It costs about $6.00. The Loose Coupled Tuning Coil.
"We are running up our meters in order to catch the higher tuned waves," Bob added. "That is part of the bedlam." "And the rest?" "It is static interference." "What's that?" "Well, static is the big bugbear of radio," answered Bob, pausing a moment in regulating his tuner and detector. "It is caused by stray waves moving in various directions through the atmosphere, and by electrical conditions.
When she had faithfully done her work she played a few simple melodies, such as she knew the old woman would love and understand; and she turned away when she saw that the listener's eyes were moist. "Play once again," the old woman whispered. "I am dreaming of beautiful things." So the little tuner touched the keys again with all the tenderness of an angel.
"Oh, I was a fool to let them go. I'll never forgive myself. If only they were not injured. If only they were merely made prisoner, I " "Hey," said Dave, "look at that signal bulb. Somebody's calling us." "It's only Frank, calling back, I suppose," groaned Mr. Temple. But Dave took up a headpiece and began adjusting the tuner knob. In a moment he tapped Mr. Temple on the bowed shoulder.
