The parts you need for this set include: one variocoupler; one .001 microfarad variable condenser; one .0005 microfarad variable condenser; one .0007 microfarad variable condenser; one 2 megohm grid leak; one vacuum tube detector; one 6 volt A battery; one 6 ohm, 1-1/2 ampere rheostat; one 200 ohm potentiometer; one 22-1/2 volt B battery; one .001 microfarad fixed condenser, one pair of 2,000 ohm headphones, and a variometer.
To hook-up the set connect the leading-in wire to one end of the primary coil, or stator, of the variocoupler and solder a wire to one of the taps that gives the longest wave length you want to receive.
When the variocoupler is adjusted for receiving very long waves the rotor sets at right angles to the stator and, since when it is in this position there is no mutual induction between them, the tickler coil serves as a loading coil for the detector plate oscillation circuit.
First connect the free end of the condenser in the aerial to one of the terminals of the stator of the variocoupler; then connect the other terminal of the stator with one of the ends of the bank-wound inductance coil and connect the movable contact of this with the ground.
For this set you require: one variocoupler; two variometers; one .001 microfarad variable condenser; one .0005 microfarad variable condenser; one 2 megohm grid leak resistance; one vacuum tube detector; one 6 volt A battery; one 200 ohm potentiometer; one 22-1/2 volt B battery; one .001 microfarad fixed condenser, and one pair of 2,000 ohm headphones.
This is the part of the variocoupler that is called the stator. The secondary coil is wound on the section of a ball mounted on a shaft and this is swung in bearings on the stator so that it can turn in it. This part of the variocoupler is called the rotor and is arranged so that it can be mounted on a panel and adjusted by means of a knob or a dial. The Variometer.
The Variocoupler. A variocoupler consists of a primary coil wound on the outside of a tube of insulating material and to certain turns of this taps are connected so that you can fix the wave length which your aerial system is to receive from the shortest wave; i.e., 150 meters on up by steps to the longest wave, i.e., 600 meters, which is the range of most amateur variocouplers that are sold in the open market.
