Form Wound Coils
Used by Amateurs
Method of Procedure Is Out
lined for Electrical
Workers.
By 5. {. WATSON

Every amateur electrical worker mas
| occasion at various times to use form
wound coils of special dimensions. In
the construction Of plain magnets or
open-core apparatus the wire Is usual
ly wound in place directly upon The
core. With dynamo or motor fields
and ~closed-core apparatus 1t is usually
impracticable and in some cases Inn
possible to wind the wire In this way.
Consequently the coils must first be
wound upon a form.
For the average Job a form should
be made of exactly the same length as
is desired for the finished coil, making
due allowance for the necessary insu-
lation to be added later. Each OF the
other two dimensions should be about
on~e-eighth inch greater than the cor
responding dimensions of the core
upon which the coil Is to be placed.
A block of wood planed to the over
size dimensions Indicated above and
sawed to the desired length Is the
most convenient kind of core form.
A quarter-ihch hole is bored through
the longitudinal axis of this block
and receives the axle used In rotat-
ing the form. The appearance of the
finished block is shown in Fig. /.

Makes an Efficient
Lightning Switch

Nowadays when many are thinking
of installing radio sets, n of the first
questions to be solved is the installa-
ton Of a ground or lightning switch.
A switch can be easily constructed
from parts that are often thrown aside
as useless. The one here described is
rugged, will stand long service and re-
quires but a small amount Of time to
make 1t.
Obtain a double pole, single throw
switch similar to those used in resi-
dences for power mains. The base is
not needed. The blades of the switch
are Joined together to lengthen the dis
lance between the jaws. Two small
pieces of copper can be placed on each
side of the blades and drilled through,
after which they are securely riveted,
or the ends can be welded.
The handle is attached to the single
blade by threading the machine screw
into the place formerly used to hold
the blade to the fiber end. The hinge
of the switch Is secured to a strip of
bakelite three and one-half inches long
and three-quarters inch wide. The size
varies with the size of the switch used.
A hole is drilled at each end of the
strip to pass the top threaded screw
of a spark plug ore. Two pieces OF
