He almost got you." The whisper ceased. Adjusting the campus coil Curlie sat at strained attention. "I wish I knew you were listening," came again. "It's hard to be whispering into the night and not knowing you're being heard." Curlie's fingers moved nervously over a tuner knob. He was sorely tempted to tune in and flash an answering "O.K.," if nothing more.
Where a single coil tuner is used a fixed condenser should be connected around the telephone receivers. Where a loose coupled tuner is employed you should have a variable condenser connected across the closed oscillation circuit and a fixed condenser across the telephone receivers.
The floor was packed with pianos, glittering with varnish which reflected the strong light of the street. From another room came a monotonous sound repeated indefinitely, a tuner at work on a piano. The salesman stepped up, glancing at the hunchback with the quick look of surprise which Clara had noticed in others.
He was an incomer, he told me, from the Borders, his native place being the town of Galashiels, or, as he called it, 'Gawly'. 'I began as a powerloom tuner in Stavert's mill. Then my father dee'd and I took up his trade of jiner. But it's no world nowadays for the sma' independent business, so I cam to the Clyde and learned a shipwright's job.
We'll meet again some time, I hope." "I hope so too," said Anthony March. John went out and closed the drawing-room door behind him. Then he left the house without going up-stairs and saying hello to Paula and sitting down on the edge of her bed, as he had meant to do, and telling her all about his talk with the piano tuner. It really was late and he must be getting started.
You do not require a condenser for a simple receiving set, but if you will connect a fixed condenser across your headphones you will get better results, while a variable condenser connected in the closed circuit of a direct coupled receiving set, that is, one where a double slide tuning coil is used, makes it easy to tune very much more sharply; a variable condenser is absolutely necessary where the circuits are inductively coupled, that is, where a loose coupled tuner is used.
I have to go out now, but perhaps you'd drop into the drawing-room and explain to the tuner that there's been some slight misunderstanding with his hat. And, I say, a glass of beer and two shillings is as much as you need offer." The girl had just removed the supper things. We have supper rather early, because I like a long evening.
She asked him about his journey and about Cornelius; then told him how she came to be there instead of at her piano, "The tuner must have finished by this time!" she said; "let us go and try his work!" So saying she rose, and was on her feet before Vavasor. The way seemed to reveal itself to her as they went, and they were soon at home. The next fortnight Vavasor spent at Yrndale.
The organ was a new one then, and, by the same token, I saw it when I was young, and the keyboard was strangely made; for there were two black keys together everywhere where we have one, the first being for the sharp of the natural below it, and the second for the flat of the natural above; and this meant that the ingenious builder had thought he could get rid of the 'wolf' and produce an instrument with the combined advantages of the even temper and the uneven; and any one who does not know what that means may ask a tuner to explain it for him or not, just as he pleases; but the old organ had double black keys, for I saw and touched them myself, and that was the very instrument to which Stradella sang on the afternoon of Saint John's Eve so long ago.
The tuning coil, or oscillation transformer as this one is called, is a conductively coupled tuner that is, the primary and secondary coils form one continuous coil instead of two separate coils. It is fitted with one fixed tap and three clips to each of which a length of copper braid is attached.
