Freak" Sets Appear.
What might be described as freak"
radio receiving sets are being con-
structed by amateurs all over the
country. The other day Claude Ely
announced that he had made a re-
ceiving set consisting of pencil |
eraser. five paper clips and a little i
wire-in addition, of course. to crys- |
tai. Shortly afterwards a Philadel- |
phia school boy demonstrated sue
ceSsfully a home made set mounted !
on a cigar holder.
The wire on Ely's set is very fine
and wound around the eraser to make !
a COIL while the crystal detector is
mounted on the end of the eraser. |
The clips are used to hold the crys
tai in place and as connections for |
aerial, ground and phones. The COM !
plete receiving station rests in the |
vest pocket of its inventor when not |
in use.
What Are You Doings
Every real dyed in the wool radio |
fan is interested in what the other !
fellow is doing with his set. If you 4!

lanta with a set of the same power. ,
he wants to know it. Likewise. if
you discover any tricks" that i'm |
prove your set. others would be in
terested to know about them. Send
in your receiving records with brief
description of your set and any phe-
nomenal results you have had.
