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.
On one occasion I was just proposing to a girl in her father's library when the tuner struck up in the drawing-room. I left off suddenly, and fled from the house. But there is no escape from these fiends; I believe they are swarming about in the air like so many bacteria.
But this mild sensation was engulfed the next moment in clear astonishment when he encountered in the drawing-room doorway, Anthony March. The piano tuner was coatless and in his socks. Evidently it was no less recent an event than the sound of the latchkey which had roused him from sleep. "Oh," he said. "It's you, sir." And added as he came a little wider awake, "I'm very glad you've come."
Well, the fact is, the Montmorencis always do it. It's been a family peculiarity for centuries, like the Banshee. And, besides, she does it to keep her hands delicate: they're just like roses I mean white roses, if you could only see 'em. But then she always wears gloves. Gasper? Did you not ask for a leetle music? What you like for me to play? The tuner is coming to-morrow.
Oh, it can't be! She wouldn't chuck dad for that doughboy piano tuner. Not Paula!" "Oh, no," said Mary. "She wouldn't do that. It wouldn't look to her like that, anyhow. She's got enough, don't you see, for everybody; for dad and and the doughboy as well. Father wouldn't have any less, if he could just make up his mind that he didn't have to have it all.
To do this she will have to sacrifice some of her present intelligence; it is impossible to imagine a genuinely intelligent human being becoming a competent trial lawyer, or buttonhole worker, or newspaper sub-editor, or piano tuner, or house painter.
If, on the other hand, the threads of the newly-dressed, or newly-beamed, warp had to be drawn-in and reeded, these operations would be performed in the drawing-in and reeding department, and, when completed, the loom beam with its attached warp threads, cambs and reed, would be taken bodily to the loom where the "tenter," "tackler" or "tuner" adjusts all the parts preparatory to the actual operation of weaving.
But he finished ironing the wave out of a faulty unison before he replied to John's remark. He arose from the bench as he spoke. "It does; but it is more a matter of knack really. A great tuner named Clark taught me, and he learned it from Jonas Chickering himself. Old Jonas wouldn't allow any of his grand pianos to be tuned with an L head wrench."
There recurred to John's mind, a moment during that day's drive he had taken with Mary, down South, when he had leaped to the wild surmise that there might be something between those two. She'd been talking about the piano tuner with what struck him as a surprisingly confident understanding. She had instantly, he remembered, divined his thought and as swiftly set it at rest.
Finally connect one end of the tickler coil of the tuner with the plate of the detector tube and connect the other end of the tickler to one end of the primary coil of the first audio frequency transformer and the other end of it to the wire that connects the two B batteries together.
