  • A Kitchen Course in Electricity and Magnetism
    A germanium diode is better than a silicon one for such tiny voltages and certainly better than the galena used in the crystal sets of the 1920s. This radio (Fig. 3.47) was able to receive shortwave AM stations at wavelengths of around 200 yards, which corresponds to a frequency of approximately 1200 kHz or 1.2 MHz.

    A decade later the hobbyist strains to hear, over a handbuilt " crystal -and-catswhisker" set , the call letters of a distant station. More years pass, and the same family is standing close to the shortwave radio in the kitch- en, trying to understand a crackling voice talking of war.
  • A titan of radio engineering
    The factory’s chief researcher A.L. Mints assigned him to the piezoelec tric laboratory to develop piezoelectric crystals as part of shortwave transmitters. He also set Raspletin the more challenging task of designing a piezoelectric fre quency standard. In 1932, the first technical paper by Raspletin appeared in the journal Tekhnika radio i slabogo toka …
