Crystal Receiving Sets
and How to Make Them
by Bernard E. Jones
reprinted by Lindsay Publications
If you've ever built a crystal set (and if you haven't, it's about time you did...), you should have a copy of this. It's British. Published without a date, but an educated guess puts it in the early 1920's.
You get a beautifully illustrated how-to guide to building crystal sets and their components. Chapters include a simple and efficient receiving set, a single slider set, set with semicircular tuner, crystal set with tapped single coil, a loose-coupled set, set with plug-in basket coils, combined crystal and valve (vacuum tube) receiver, some miniature receiving sets, crystal circuits, how crystals work, making a buzzer, receiving CW signals on a crystal set, making a wavemeter from a crystal set, converting low-resistance phones, and the morse code.
Since there is only so much you can do with a crystal set, the tuners, detectors and circuits you find here are documented in many other books. But the British built their own wireless (radio) sets just a little differently. Their twist on the early technology makes this jam-packed little book fascinating. It only took one brief look, and I knew this was worth bringing back.
If you haven't built a crystal set, you've missed something. Here's a chance to get started. For the rest of us, this is an idea generator. Get a copy. You'll like it. 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 softcover 124 pages
