And then there were three.
The attraction of this one was that it was by a different Manufacturer but with the same old Base.
The Knob on the top led me to believe that something might be adjustable but tis proved not to be the case. It seems simply to be a means of pulling it out of the Base.
However, there is a Coil buried in there.
The Label on the top also reveales what LEWCOS means - THE LONDON ELECTRIC WIRE COMPANY AND SMITHS Ltd.
The Base is entirely different from the Formo one. However, helpfully it has the Connections moulded into the top and the Connections are numbered.
The actual Coil, which I suppose we'd call 'Medium Wave' is like this:-
So:-
That's three different Manufacturers of Coils and compatible Bases, so why are they (the Bases) so thin on the ground?
I was hoping to discover some compatibilitybetween the three but it's not obvious to me.
Assuming that this is the usual 'Aerial/Reaction' Coil which is which?
