Then I connected the batteries, supplied the new spark-coil, selected a new spark-plug at random, and screwed it in. Having done various things, I carefully surveyed my environs for a lady. There were no ladies present, so I spoke out freely. "And now," said I, having exhausted my vocabulary, "I shall crank!" Bill and the Kid sat on a pile of rocks looking very sullen.
Where dry cells or a storage battery must be used to supply the current for energizing the transmitter a spark-coil can be employed and these may be had in various sizes from a little fellow which gives 1/4-inch spark up to a larger one which gives a 6-inch spark.
Either a fixed, a rotary, or a quenched spark gap can be used with this set, but the former is seldom used except with spark-coil sets, as it is very hard to keep the sparks from arcing when large currents are used.
Where you have to generate the current with a battery you must use a spark coil, but if you have a 110-volt direct or alternating lighting current in your home you can use a transformer which will give you more power. For this set you will need: a spark-coil, a battery of dry cells, a telegraph key, a spark gap, a high-tension condenser, and an oscillation transformer.
If there are no grounded pipes available then you will have to make a good ground which we shall describe presently and lead the ground wire from your receiving set out of the window and down to it. How to Put Up a Good Aerial. While you can use the cheap aerial already described for a small spark-coil sending set you should have a better insulated one for a 1/2 or a 1 kilowatt transformer set.
By changing the wiring he was finally able to evoke a desultory response from the spark-coil, and a little later to start the motor after some limping fashion. "Oh, my poor dinner!" said Miss Anners, who was still in the light-hearted mood; this after Blount's careful nursing had resulted in a creeping resumption of the cityward progress.
There are many different makes and styles of these parts but in the last analysis all of them are built on the same underlying bases and work on the same fundamental principles. The Spark-Coil.
There are two ways to set up the sparks and these are: with an induction coil, or spark-coil, as it is commonly called, and with an alternating current transformer, or power transformer, as it is sometimes called.
Where dry cells or a storage battery must be used to supply the current for energizing the transmitter a spark-coil can be employed and these may be had in various sizes from a little fellow which gives 1/4-inch spark up to a larger one which gives a 6-inch spark.
I stated to the august personage that I was looking for an engine shipped to me by express. It seems that my statement was insulting. The man snarled and shook his head. I have since thought that he was the owner of the Northern Pacific system in disguise. I suggested that the personage might look about. He succeeded in digging up a spark-coil and that is all I ever saw of the engine.
