Crystal Detector May Be Easily Constructed
A historical note describes a crystal detector built on a wood base with a Sky 3 inch wide strip. Materials include base binding posts a strip of spring brass and a wooden knob with washers and parts from Erector Meccano sets. Instructions outline making a universal joint from 24 inch strip angle pieces nuts and bolts.
Crystal holder and wiring for a crystal radio set
The diagram shows lock washers under nuts at B and another point, a round head wood screw with four lock washers under the head at Z, and a plain washer between wood and angle piece to allow turning. A knob on one end of the horizontal arm, a catwhisker on the opposite, with a wire held near mid arm and a pig-tail lead to a binding post. Adjust screws A B C for desired stiffness. The crystal holder is fashioned from spring brass, hairpin bent with an angle piece soldered, wood screw fastening to base, connected to the other binding post and designed to close completely when the crystal is mounted. If lock washers are unavailable, substitute stiff springs.
