Practical wireless telegraphy; a complete text book for students of radio communication . eign radio system, aninductance element known as a variometerinductance is employed to change the de-gree of coupling between the closed andopen circuits of radio-frequency. Briefly,it consists of the windings A and B, , comprising two coils which can bemagnetically opposed to each other. Thecoils are connected in series and when di-rectly opposite the inductance is at a mini-mum value, but when B is drawn awayfrom A the inductance gradually increases,maximum inductance being obtained whenthey are drawn completely apart. If the variometer is connected in theaerial system as in Fig. 124, and its self-inductance gradually increased, the mutualinduction between the open and closedcircuits will be increased and therefore thecoupling. To be efficient and to have a minimum resistance, variometers must be wound withstranded copper cable made of a great number of small strands each of which is insulatedfrom neighboring ones. A stranded cable made in this way is called Litzendraht which. Fig. 123- -Showing Fundamental Principle of the Vario-meter. APPLIANCES FOR A RADIO TRANSMITTER. 109 affords a conductor at maximum con-ductivity for high frequency transformers may havefixed values of inductance for both theprimary and secondary windings as inFig. 12S. In one type, the primary hasa single turn of copper cable woundaround 6 or 8 turns of smaller cable,constituting the secondary coupling is rather loose—about 8per cent, for the average aerial. Thenecessary changes of wave length areobtained by variation of the capacity ofthe condenser in the closed circuit andthe inductance of the aerial circuit. 104. Aerial Tuning Inductance. —The aerial inductance coil may beof the continuously variable typehaving a sliding contact whichbears on an edgewise copper stripas in Fig. 126, or of the round barrel type made of stranded copper cable
