INDUCTION COIL OUTFITS should be thin in order that cost and weight may not be inordinate and it is to be cut into 6 x 8 in. pieces. These tinfoil sheets, with strips laid on alternately for lugs, are placed between the waxed paper sheets in piles of 100 sheets each. The condenser will therefore comprise five units of 100 sheets to the unit. The specifications given are for a condenser of large proportions, but in the author's experience, the average amateur builder is not equipped with the presses necessary to compress the units to the extent where their capacity is large for a given size of sheet. The only device of this kind that is within the reach of the experimenter is a letter press and this implement gives but a small fraction of the pressure used by the manufacturer of the standard condenser. The diagram of connections is given in Fig. 11. The disposition of the connecting wires is not given in the drawing of the completed coil, Fig. 9, for the simple reason that the extra lines would tend to confuse and the builder who is capable of turning out this coil will certainly be able to -11111111Fig. 11.-Diagram of connections for the induction coil
