Summary
Description Radiotelegraph receiver from 1914.jpg |
English:
Coherer
radiotelegraphy
receiver
designed by the French inventor Auguste Jean-Baptiste Tauleigne (1870-1926) around 1914. This was used to receive radiotelegraphy text messages in from a
spark-gap transmitter
. The
coherer
which detected the radio signals from the wire antenna, a horizontal glass tube with metal powder between two electrodes, is visible at right. The radio signal caused the metal powder to become conductive, allowing current from a battery
(not visible)
to flow through it to register on the siphon recorder. The siphon recorder (
left
) recorded the Morse code as an ink line on a paper tape, which could be translated later into text by an operator. Alternately the code could be listened to using the
headphones
(
right
). A bell (

) was provided to alert the operator when a message was coming in.
