Is there a simple way to pull the words off the document in the picture so it can be stuffed through an on line translator in order to save the bother of typing it all out into a word program to stuff through a translator?:

If it was English I'd print it and scan it with the OCR Software that came with my hp Printer.
I don't know what sense it will make of that but I'll give it a go.

Thanks Alan, I have to go out soon for a few hours, the document is the first page of an article that apparently explains the term C119 which I mentioned in the Recepteur Type 221 thread yesterday.

First pass was hopeless.
I'll have a play and report back.
What you need is someone with good technical French.

Google online ocr. Several free services. So give them a try.

Splendid, that will save me thrashing about ineffectually
I can't say that I'm making a lot of sense of it though.

Thanks all, I'm getting the impression that C119 was referenced to a question that was posted in an article in a publication/magazine entitled "The Antenna"
So far I'm thinking the term C119 refers to a topology or arrangement of valves and components for a receiver because in response to an initial question in which I showed the schematic for the Recepteur Type 221 on a French radio forum someone replied and said it was a classic C119 arrangement/layout.

I think there's another page or so to upload plus the front cover of the publication that the pages came from.

I will upload them, if anyone want's to translate them for themselves as and when that's ok, I will type these other pages into a word document and stuff them through a translator as everyone has been a great help with whats already been done.

The cover and 2nd part of the article, courtesy of tsf radio org forum:

       

The results of the above 2nd part stuffed through an online translator:

"The antenna, which reduces considerably the gene bringest neighboring receptors positions.

However, it must not be thought that C. 119 Constitute an invention. Exitait in theory under the technical denominatio well before the release of 'antenna and we have only to fans by unveiling the report as a practical way to turn in medium wave receiver, a device has no resistances down low enough in wavelength, appereils of this kind had also been built during the hostilities by the services of the central establishment of the radio telegraph equipment of the army.

Do not believe any more than we want to condemn the amplifier has resistances. This device makes it possible to receive even relatively small waves, but it must be properly mounted, which was not the case for the vast majority of the amplifiers of the moment, it must be said, despite built eyaient common sense.

The C119 bis instead of being mounted in the coil separating frankly agree the resonance coil, instead provides for a variable coupling between these coils. Performance may be slightly higher, but only under certain conditions resistance of the oscillating circuits."
