MRLŽ Handbook No. 10
Facts for Crystal Experimenters
Personally printed on 100% Acid Free paper stock by Paul Nelson
Why Crystal sets? This handbook gives a lot of reasons for their use.
Thousands of listeners depend entirely on their use - believe it or not. Tone
fidelity, DX reception and other points are covered. The simplest set is shown
along with the most modern type of Crystal set.
Pocket radios, using diodes, are explained -- and advising you on
pitfalls in their in their advertising that catch thousands a year.
De-modulation and Rectification are explained in detail, in a simple
manner that we all can
understand. This is also useful to the amateur.
Theories of
Detection - and there are many - are all explained in detail so you can use you
own judgment as to which is best. Also an explanation of Selenium and Silicon
rectifiers, Simple thermocoupler experiments are shown. Principles of therm-0-coupled
ammeters. All about the formation of crystals and X-ray tests.
All this and much, much more.........
