(J) How many dry cells would have to bo used In place ot 6-volt Jtorago battery in your 128 V. T. de tector unit? Would It be cheaper In tho long run to buy the ttoraeo bat tery? (3) Would spider lattice work coll and crystal detector be more ef flclent than two-slide tuning coll and crystal? Answer Yos, the uplder colls can bo used with the crystal set. Just hook up your aerial and ground to the primary and your secondary leadi to the variable condenser and carry out tho wiring as shown In the above dla gram in answer to question No. 1. The tickler coll cannot be used with the crystal set. (2) About six drv cells will be needed. It will be for cheaper to purchase a stx-volt 40-ampere hours Mtorage battery.

J., New York City "Will you please let me know if the crystal detector set described below will en able me to hear the programme broad casted by W J Z? This set will be situated In Beechmont Park. New ho chelle. Tho antenna wUl be twenty- five or thirty feet above ground tnd seventy-five feet long. The tuning coll will have 80 turnj of wire and for the Irst 70 turns a tap Is made every ten urns. The remaining ten turns will fiavo a tap to each turn. There will be two switch arms and knobs. One of these arms will come Into contact with the first seven taps. The other will come Into contact with the last ten tnpj. It will be fitted with a very good crystal detector. I expect to use n head set with 3.000 ohms resistance phones." Answer If Beechmoimt is over twenty miles from Newu.k doubt very much If you will get any thing worth while. J. Van Dyke Jr.. Palisade Park. N. J, "Can I use one bulb detector with an Everyman crystal 'jet?" Answer Not In any way that I know of.
