STORAGE.
CELLS
RECHARGING
Storage cells may be recharged from any source of direct current, that is, from the lighting
circuit in series with a lamp, from a small shunt wound dynamo, from dry cells or other
primary batteries or from alternating current by using an " Amco" Rectifier.
The liquid in a storage cell is dilute sulphuric acid. It is usually mixed with the aid of
a hydrometer and should have a specific gravity of 1,250. Acid may be purchased at any
drug store for a few cents.
Storage cells are fully charged when they read 2.5 volts per cell across the terminals with
the charging current on. Never attempt to measure the charge with an ammeter. The
meter would be immediately burned out. A 10 ampere hour cell will test over 100 amperes.
It will melt a piece of No. 18 copper wire when short circuited. Never try this however.
It will injure the cell. Directions for recharging are given on the label of each cell.
CAUTION
The Adams- Morgan Storage Cells are the result of many years of experience and conform
in every detail with the high standards that we have set and maintain in the manufacture
of our products. Every operation from the crude lead to the finished cell is carried out
in our own shops. We can, therefore, vouch for the quality.
It is one of our principles to never make any remarks about articles of other manufacturers
in imitation of our own. We issue this statement merely as a caution for the protection
of our prospective customers. Several concerns of questionable reputation are offering
cheap storage cells. They are fabulously over rated regarding capacity in order to make
the prices appear attractive. These concerns do not manufacture storage cells, even though
they claim to do so. They buy second-hand materials and plates from old igniiton
batteries and seal them in a jar.
All genuine "Amco" Storage Cells bear our name. That name is a guarantee of an
HONESTLY MADE battery. Think twice before you buy a battery from an unknown
concern. A cheap cell is dear at any price. It won't last. An "Amco" will.

UPPER INDATCLAIR N.J are positively justified in stating

Variable Condenser
This condenser is constructed so that there is combined rotary
and slide plate action, the plates being arranged to operate in
circular grooves. There are four stationary plates which in
combination with three movable ones, give a total capacity of
.0005 m.f. The top and bottom are hard rubber composition.
The top is provided with a scale, which together with the pointer
attached to the handle, indicates the relative capacities in cir-
cuit. The sides are made of transparent celluloid so that the
interior workings and mot.on of the plates can be plainly seen.
We recommend its use only in secondary of receiving circuits.

Spark balls will be found to be much more efficient than a spark gap when a small coil
is used in sending messages which are to be picked up with a coherer. These balls are
made of the best spun zinc. They may be adjusted for any desired length of spark by
simply loosening one of the binding posts and sliding them back and forth. They are made
so that they may be mounted directly on the secondary terminals of one of our coils.

The secondary is varied by means of a slider which moves over the top of the coil and
which makes contact with any number of turns at will. Most loose couplers have a switch
on the end of the secondary so that it can only be varied in groups of several turns at
a time, but the "Simplex" is so arranged that any number of turns from 1 to 175 can be
had, and this is one of the features which accounts for the wonderful results it is
possible to obtain with this tuner. The slider is so arranged that it operates whether the
secondary is inside the primary or not. The woodwork is all carefully finished. All
metal parts are brass, buffed and lacquered. The instrument is the same loose coupler

than doubled by connecting a pro-
perly built oscillation condenser
across the spark gap. The Amco
Oscillation Condenser is more effi-
cient and durable than any other
instrument designed to serve a
similar purpose. It will change
the spark of an ordinary induction
coil to a thick, white, crashing
discharge, which can be heard a
long distance away.
The Leyden jars are each separ-
ately removable and are construct-
ed throughout in a similar man-
ner to those used in the mcst modern European wireless telegraph stations.
They are coated with heavy tinfoil which will not blister. The frame
is made of the best seasoned hardwood, carefully finished and propor-

partment of Commerce
and Labor the only way
open to increasing the
transmitting range of a
station is to increase its
efficiency. The Amco
Rotary Spark Gap will go farther in this direction than almost any other
device. It has been constructed with the utmost care according to the
most approved design and produces a high musical note which can be very
easily read through interference. It operates with entire absence of heating.
One of the features of the Amco Rotary Gap not found in others is the
mounting of the electrodes on the periphery thus rendering impossible any
changes in the sparking distance such as take place in a gap in which the
electrodes are mounted on the face, due to play in the shaft of the motor.
The Amco Rotary Gap not only produces a high note the frequency of
which may be varied from 50 to 500 a second at will, but prevents arcing
and will double the indication of a hot wire ammeter in most cases.
The instrument is very attractive in appearance and is mounted upon a
polished marble base. The rotary electrodes are cast solid and machined
to fit. They are cast from a special alloy which has been found to possess
a very high efficiency and being light permits the motor to start and stop
very rapidly. The motor is of the enclosed type and is fitted with ample
bearings and mica insulated commutator. The rotary electrodes are in-
sulated from the shaft by a heavy rubber bushing. The stationary elec-
trodes are provided with check nuts and insulating handles. The Amco
Rotary Spark Gap is the highest grade instrument of its kind on the
market. Quotations upon larger or special types upon request.

in offering the
"Amco" Quenched
Spark Gap we are
placing before the
experimenter the
most distinct ad-
vance that has been
attained in wireless
experiment in re-
cent years.
The unusual effi-
ciency of the
quenched gap is
almost too well
known to need
comment. It will
increase the hot-
wire ammeter
reading from 25 to 50 per cent, and produce louder, clearer signals than
the ordinary form of gap. The results obtained by the use of a quenched
gap are so remarkable that it is hard to believe that the same equipment
is being employed. Quenched spark transmitting sets have been adopted
by the United States Government and nearly all foreign countries. The
Amco Quenched Spark Gap renders the emitted wave-length much sharper
and will bring your equipment into compliance with the regulations of the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
The Amco Quenched Spark Gap is absolutely noiseless in operation. A watch can be
heard in the same room while transmitting. The annoyance of the crashing discharge of
a large coil or transformer is entirely eliminated with this gap. The gap sections are
turned from solid brass castings and are provided with large radiating fins which effectively
dissipate the heat. The separators are the best grade of India Mica. The frame of the
gap is machined from a heavy casting and provided with a setscrew so that the sections
may be properly compressed. The base is dove marble, highly polished.

clumsy makeshift forced upon the uninitiated by extravagant claims. This instrument is
thoroughly we built and is really a beautiful piece of apparatus. The cylinder is wound
with two hundred turns of wire, each one carefully insulated from the other. The wave
length of this coil is considerably greater than that of any other of similar size. With
the average amateur aerial and this tuning coil it is possible to tune to wave lengths
up to about 800 meters.
THREE SLIDE COILS—We can supply our tuning coils with three sliders. The ad-
ditional slider will wonderfully increase the selectivity and loudness of the signals.
Our Tuning Coll for Long Wave Lengths
is fitted with three sliders and with the aver age amateur aerial will tune in waves up to
1,500 meters. With this coil it is possible to tune in practically any high power station
in the country. The Importance of this cannot be overestimated for unless you have a
coil with which you can tune closely you are practically closed to high power stations.

the secondary variation is secured in ten steps, this making it possible to secure a much
finer adjustment than is possible with many other receiving transformers. The secondary
is arranged so that it slides completely inside of the primary, a feature which will be
readily appreciated by those familar with the requirements of long distance work and
close tuning. Instead of employing two springs inside of the secondary to make contact
with the two guide rods, we employ a silk- covered double conductor which is soldered to
the rods at the primary end. There are no loose or sliding contacts about the secondary
of this instrument. The woodwork is all finished in dark mahogany and is highly polished.
All metal fittings are brass, nickel plated and polished. The primary slider is hard rubber

The primary heads, secondary heads, slider and support for the guide rods are GENUINE
HARD RUBBER and are not moulded composition. Moulded composition is far cheaper
and far inferior to real hard rubber. The primary is of large diameter and contains 160
turns of wire. It is especially adapted to receiving long wave lengths. The slider moves
smoothly and evenly and is arranged to- make contact with one turn at a time. It is the
type of slider which will be found on most high grade commercial apparatus. The second-
ary winding is green silk covered copper wire connected to a 12- POINT SWITCH on the
coil head. This is a larger number of contacts than will be found on most other instru-
ments and permits therefore of closer tuning. The coupling is varied by the movement
of the secondary in and out of the primary. We wish to emphasize that this instrument
represents far greater value in efficiency, workmanship and materials than any other
similar instrument. It has a record of performances to be proud of. The base is finished
in dark mahogany and is carefully polished. Size 15 x 6 x 5% inches.

The two instruments illustrated above are without doubt the best variable receiving con-
densers on the market today. The main objects in view in developing and producing these
instruments were to combine first-class materials so as to insure perfect mechanical and
electrical action at all times and to give the greatest value in looks, materials and service
of any condenser ever offered to amateur experimenters. That we have succeeded in
producing two instruments which are far superior in value and more popular than any
others on the market ut the present time is readily conceded upon examining the con-
densers themselves. Tbey outrival every other amateur receiving condenser manufactured
from the standpoint of efficiency, and are particularly striking and handsome in appearance.
They embrace the most value in appearance, materials, efficiency and service at the lowest
price which ever has or will be offered. It may be positively asserted that these instru-
ments are positively the cheapest and at the same time the best amateur variable con-
densers ever made. Th following specifications give an excellent idea of the exceptional
value offered, and the superiority of these instruments.
The condenser units pmper are built up of semi- circular metal vanes. They are made in
two sizes, one having 43 plates and the other 17. The total capacity of the 43- plate
condenser is over . 001 micro- farads. The total capacity of the 17- plate condenser is
over . 0004 micro-faradls. Each condenser unit is attached to a circular black polished
GENUINE HARD RUBBER top. Please note that when you buy these condensers you are
securing real hard rubber and not composition. Real rubber is far superior. The top
is provided with a 150. degree engraved scale, knurled knob handle, indicating pointer and
suitable binding posts. The base is also genuine hard rubber and not composition.
The method of mountMg the plates, etc., is ingenious and very substantial. The case
proper is transparent, giving a view of the operation of the plates. Unlike other manu-
facturers it is not necessary for us to hide the interior construction of our instruments
and we have provided the transparent cases so that every detail may be seen. The con-
densers are similar itr every respect save number of plates and height. The No. 7735
Condenser is 3% inches in diameter and 3% inches high. The No. 7735 Condenser is

RECEIVING OUTFITS
The Amco Receiving Sets have been brought forward to meet the demand ot those who
wish their instruments in compact, portable form instead of scattered about the operating
table. Considerable advantage is derived by purchasing a receiving set complete, for the
instruments are then carefully tested and permanently connected at the factory and there
is no possibility of s faulty circuit which might lower the efficiency.
Amco receiving outfits stand pre-eminently in a class by themselves among high grade
popular outfits. They are the very finest it is possible to make and are far superior to
anything of the kind offered in imitation. Comparative test has proven them absolutely
unexcelled in reliability, efficiency, appearance and construction.
The instruments comprising the sets have been chosen so as to give considerable range
of price and selection.
It is of course impossible to accurately estimate the range of any station because so many
indeterminable factors such as the height and length of aerials, location, atmospheric
conditions, etc., exert considerable influence, but in order to guide intending purchasers
who have not had any great amount of experience in wireless, we have given the approxi-
mate distance that each outfit may be expected to receive from high power stations.
All the sets are entirely self contained and provided with a unique Amco feature, namely,
a small etched brass nameplate attached alongside of each binding post to indicate just
where the GROUND, AERIAL, ' PHONES, etc., should be connected.
'PHONES
We have not included ' phones in the receiving outfits because many persons wish to exercise
their own choice or already possess their own head sets. We would advise the use of
our No. 7760 head set. If this set or any other ' phones listed in the catalog are ordered
together with a set, a discount of ten per cent, will be allowed from the price of the phones.
NOTICE—The receiving ranges given in connection with the various sets described below
presuppose the use of a suitable aerial and a sensitive pair of telephone receivers when
receiving from a high power station.

The success of a wireless station will depend largely upon three things: first, the selection
of well made, efficient apparatus; second, the careful observance of certain fundamental
principles in installing the apparatus, and third, the intelligent operation of the properly
installed apparatus. Starting with " Atnco" apparatus means that an important step has
been made in the right direction, for its well-known efficiency and reliability insure that
as far as the instruments are concerned, the owner of Amco apparatus has all that
could be desired. The purpose of the following few pages is to briefly set forth some of
the fundamental principles to be observed in the arrangement of the station and its
operation. They are intended to be of benefit or assistance to those having a limited
acquaintance with wireless telegraph phenomena.
The antenna or aerial consists of several wires elevated in the air and insulated from
surrounding objects. It is used to radiate the electric waves which are sent out when the
station is transmitting and to intercept those coming from a far distant station when it
is desirable to receive. The illustration shows the favorite form of aerial used by
amateurs, together with its details. It is comparatively easy to erect, and since it is very
efficient, is recommended wherever its construction is practical. It may be generally said
that the best results will be secured from an aerial which is elevated the highest and
whose wires are the longest. An aerial should be at least 35 feet high and from 50 to
60 feet long. It is desirable, whenever possible, to make it from 50 to 100 feet high and
76 to 250 feet long. An aerial having four wires in the stretches will be found to be
very efficient when the wires are not over 150 feet long. A six- wire aerial will give
the best results with larger aerials. The total efficiency will depend as much upon the
constructional details as upon size. The wire should not be smaller than No. 14 B. & S.
gauge. Aluminum wire will be found to be very satisfactory for small aerials. No. 14
B. & S. gauge, hard drawn copper wire is recommended for medium-sized aerials. Stranded
wire has a slight additional advantage because high frequency currents travel on the
surfaces of conductors and stranded wire presents more surface than a single wire.
It is advisable to solder all joints in an aerial. The aerial should be very carefully insu-
lated from all ropes, spreaders, guys, etc., so that no currents can leak into the ground.
Our insulators are adapted for all transmitting powers within the range of the average
experimenter. The ball types of insulators will serve effectively for small induction coil
transmitting sets and for receiving apparatus. The larger insulators are recommended for
transformer sets. It is advisable to place the wires as far apart as possible. They are
held apart by a wooden "spreader." The spreader should be long enough so that the
wires are at least one foot apart for each fifty feet in their length. The diagram shows
the points in the aerial at which insulators should be placed. They are indicated by
the letter " I." The aerial is supported by ropes. It is best to have the ropes pass
through pulleys so that the aerial may be conveniently raised or lowered at will. If two
rope " stays" are fastened to one of the spreaders and insulated therefrom they will be
found to be of much assistance in preventing the aerial from twisting or turning over
in the wind.
70 THE ADAMS- M ORGAN COMPANY
The " lead-in" or " rat-tail" as it is often called, is the wire leading from the aerial to
the instruments. A wire should be connected to each one of the aerial wires near one of
the spreaders and then all joined at a common point. A single wire is then brought down
to a convenient place and passed through an insulating tube placed in a hole in the wall
or window sash. The " lead-in" is then led to the " aerial switch." The aerial switch is a
"double- pole, double- throw switch" arranged so that the aerial may be quickly connected
to either the transmitting or receiving apparatus at will. One side of the apparatus is
always connected to the ground. The ground should always be near the apparatus and
should be as perfect as possible. A ground connection formed by soldering a wire to a
water pipe or connecting it by means of a ground clamp, will be satisfactory in most
cases. Where a water pipe is not available, a good ground may be made by burying a
large metal plate in permanently moist earth, or by spreading several hundred feet of
wire over the ground, radiating from the station in different directions.
CONNECTING THE APPARATUS
The diagrams on pp. 64-68 show how the various Amco instruments should be wired to
secure the most efficiency. Over one hundred such diagrams showing how various loose
couplers, tuners, loading coils, condensers, detectors, transformers, spark gaps, helixes,
etc., may be connected, are to be found in the " Amateur's Wireless Handybook."
that you wish. The only requirement is that you preserve the secrecy of the message
if it is not intended for you. Here is the text of the law. You can read it for yourself.
SECRECY OF MESSAGES
"Nineteenth. No person or persons engaged in or having knowledge of the
operation of any station or stations, shall divulge or publish the contents of
any messages transmitted or received by such station, except to the person
or persons to whom the same may be directed, or their authorized agent, or
to another station employed to forward such message to its destination, unless
legally required to do so by the court of competent jurisdiction or other com-
petent authority. Any person guilty of divulging or publishing any message,
except as herein provided, shall, on conviction thereof, be punishable by a fine
of not more than two hundred and fifty dollars or imprisonment for a period
of not exceeding three months, or both fine and imprisonment in the discretion
of the court."
The Radio Lau The Radio Law does not hinder amateur wireless telegraphy but has
placed it upon a definite recognized basis. The regulations of this
law which govern amateur stations are enumerated in brief below. NO LICENSE is re-
quired when a receiving set only is used. A LICENSE IS ONLY REQUIRED for a trans-
mitting station and the operator, when the signals radiated by the station cross a
boundary of the state wherein the station is located or when they may interfere with the
reception by another station of signals coming from without the state. AMATEUR
TRANSMITTING STATIONS are limited to a wave length of 200 metres and a trans-
former input of 1 K.W. Amateur transmitting stations located within live nautical miles
of any naval or military naval station are restricted to a transformer input of g K.W.
Distance One of the questions most frequently asked by the wireless experimenter
is, " HOW FAR CAN I RECEIVE AND SEND WITH SUCH AND SUCH
AN OUTFIT?" It is hardly possible to answer such a question. If you are surrounded
by tall trees, buildings or mountains you cannot send and receive wireless messages as
well as if you were on a high elevation above all surrounding objects. Wireless waves
travel twice as far over water as over land and you can receive and send easily twice as
far after sundown than during the day time. As a general rule, the higher and longer
your aerial is, the further you can receive and send. The distance that you can send and
receive will also depend upon the station that you wish to communicate with. Although
you might have the best of apparatus, it would do you no good if the other station was
too poorly equipped to hear your signals or answer you.
All Amco detector stands are very efficient and make it possible for the experimenter to
secure a very sensitive detector. A 1000- ohm telephone receiver is much more efficient
than a 75- ohm receiver. A loose coupler is a more efficient instrument than a tuning
coil and will give louder signals. A station equipped with a rotary variable condenser in
the receiving set will have a greater range than an outfit not so provided. Experience
has proven that Amco Spark Coils are far more efficient than all others, and that their
average transmitting range is about as shown in the table below.
g inch Spark Coil miles 2 inch Spark Coil 8-15 miles
V:inch Spark Coil 1-4 miles 3 inch Spark Coil 12-24 miles
1 inch Spark Coil 3-8 miles 4 inch Spark Coil 15-30 miles
PA inch Spark Coil 5-12 miles
The first figures in the table are those which it is easily possible for any amateur to
obtain. The last figures are those secured where the location or arrangement of the
station is especially favorable.
No Knowledge You do not have to be an expert to set up and operate a wireless
Required station. No fears of failure need dismay. Complicated and intricate
mechanisms are not a part of wireless telegraphy. Failure is im-
possible with AMCO apparatus. An investment in AMCO apparatus is wisdom because the
purchase secures the perfect product of an established manufacturing firm, backed by the
best of reputations for honesty of dealing and quality of output. The novice wishing to
read a complete exposition of wireless telegraphy, written in simple form so that it may
be easily understood by the veriest tyro, is referred to our 25 cent book, " Lessons in
Wireless Telegraphy," which will be sent upen receipt of price. Those wishing to become
proficient in the handling and operation of wireless telegraph stations are referred to
"The Operation of Wireless Telegraph Apparatus." This is another 25 cent book which
will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price. Each commercial, naval and military station
is distinguished by a set of CALI. LETTERS. A complete list of all the call letters,
together with the code, abbreviations, speed chart and over 100 diagrams for connecting
instruments, will be found in "The Amateur's Wireless Handybook," price 25 cents.
Those who wish to build their own instruments and to learn some of the principles of

The i% i„ l„ s Wireless Licenses are issued by the United States Government FREE
License OF CHARGE and do not cost a penny. All that is required of you in
order to obtain a license is to become familiar with the law and learn
to receive and transmit messages at a fair speed. It is not even necessary for you to
appear in person for an examination if you live far away from the nearest radio inspector.
All that you have to do in such a case is take an oath before a Notary Public that you
are conversant with the law and that you can transmit and receive a wireless message.
If you wish to obtain a licence, and we urge you to do so, write to the nearest Radio
Inspector and ask him for the necessary papers. Radio Inspectors are located in the fol-
lowing cities. Address your letter to the Customs House. Boston, Mass.; New York, N. Y.;

FLASHLIGHT
MADE
Nickel plated flashlights are made in three sizes, the largest of which is so small, and
weighs so little, as to cause no inconvenience when carried in the pocket. The smallest
one is truly a marvel, and is only made practicable by the high development reached in the
manufacture of the battery with which the lights are fitted. These flashlights are designed
with a contact which eliminates the necessity of the pressure of the finger to control the
light. The light is controlled by a slide on the case, which, when once adjusted for light,
leaves both hands free. The light is flashed on by pressing the slide down, and when light
is no more desired, the slide is brought to its original position. The flash- contact is of
no more necessity in these flashlights when used with our batteries, as they will give
splendid service at little cost to the consumer when burned at intervals.

Most novelties lose their attraction after having been in use for some time and are care-
lessly cast aside. Not so with the Christmas Tree Decorative Outfits. Their unique
charms in illuminating the tree with the radiance produced by electric current only add
to their popularity and bring new cheer to old and young as does the tree which they adorn.
The interesting variety of shapes and colors in which the lamps used in these outfits are
offered give the most critical and fastidious hostess an opportunity to harmoniously blend
them in any color scheme appropriate for any occasion, not only to decorate the Christmas
Tree, but also for decoration on other festive occasions. Indeed, nothing is more essential
to the proper observance of holidays and other festivities than appropriate illumination.

The Nos. 1400-01 instruments are provided with binding posts at the sides as shown
in the illustration so that connection may be made from the front.
The Nos. 1402-04 meters are intended for use where not much space is available or where
back connections are desirable. The working parts of these meters are on a slightly smaller
scale than those of the Nos. 1400-01 but are identical in other respects. They have no
binding posts but there are two flexible silk wires leading out from the back of the meter
and connections are thereby very easily effected.

be performed, not only possessing value as means of studying, but furnishing plenty of
entertainment as well. The seven-inch plates are made of Electrite, and are all machine
moulded with tin foil sectors pressed right into the plates. A tabulation of the advantages
possessed by heavy foil sectors pressed into the plates is hardly necessary in the limited
space at hand. The base is of cast iron, as well as the two pulley wheels. The neutral-
izers are of steel, while the horizontal arm carrying the collector discharges from the
brushes, is of hard rubber. The handles on the discharge arms, as well as the handle on
the crank, are of the same material. The two Leyden jars are made of the best Bohemian
glass, free from lead end other mineral salts, to withstand the mechanical and electrical
strains. These jars are smoothly coated with tinfoil, inside and outside, and in accordance
with the policy throughout the construction, interchangeable should they become broken
through accident. In place of the usual leather belts for driving the plates, we have sub-
stituted special designed spring brass belts. These spring belts will not become slack after
years of use, whereas leather belts give continual trouble in becoming stretched.
All the metal parts are nickel- plated and highly polished, while the cast iron base is
beautifully finished in highly polished black enamel. The nickel finish in all instances is
thoroughly and skilfully applied, and guaranteed not to wear off for one year.
If desired, the machine may be worked by our type "S" or other small motors, or if
water power is available, by means of a water motor, enabling the experimenter to devote
his entire attention to the experiments, instead of being obliged to turn the crank.

tail • .0 me. arm ' • learning system really
14_ m_Au adapts itself to the
beginner, and it gives
a personal touch to
di.v.i.www each individual Stu-
dent according to his
needs. No other system can do so much, for the student sees, hears and feels every
letter and signal. The greatest trouble that every one has in learning by listening to regu-
lar messages is in separating the letters and words as they come in so fast. There is no
time to think, and letters pile up in the mind. The codegraph avoids all confusion because
every letter is under perfect control and may be repeated as many times as desired; hard
things can be made easy; words and sentences can be built at will. We guarantee that
anyone of average ability can make rapid improvement with the codegraph.
WHAT IT IS. A complete codegraph outfit, as shown in the illustration, has three main
parts: ( 1) The " plate and pen," ( 2) some form of " key and sounder" and ( 3) two
batteries. While any key and sounder can be used with the plate, we wish to call
especial attention to the duplex sounder shown, as this has been designed to do double
work. If you already have " Fun with Telegraphy," for example, and want to order the
"Codegraph Plate and Pen," we will include, free of charge, an extra attachment for
connecting up your instrument.
THE PLATE AND PEN. When the pen is lightly drawn over the plate, the sounder
responds and shows exactly how every letter and signal should sound. The student can
then practise each letter until perfect. The surface of the plate is covered with a special
insulating enamel, bare spots corresponding to correct dots and dashes. The polished
brass plate measures about 6x8 inches and has a most elegant appearance. The book
tells all about practising, etc.
DUPLEX CODEGRAPH KEY AND SOUNDER, as shown, has a double action and is
the latest thing in code- learning devices. By the mere turning of a switch you can have
the ordinary telegraph clicks or the wireless buzzes, making two sounders in one and at
the cost of one. The combination sounder and a substantial key are mounted upon a
finely finished base with nickel- plated trimmings, binding- posts, switch, etc. If you want
to become an operator in the shortest possible time no matter whether you have ever
tried before or not, get one of these outfits and begin at once. You will be pleased right
from the start, because you will make rapid progress right from the start.

These two outfits are s'milar in construction, although they differ in details, each being
designed for its special work. The " keys," " sounders" and " binding- posts" are neatly
mounted upon ebonized bases measuring 6A.x3Y1 inches, these also serving as sounding-
boards. " FUN WITH TELEGRAPHY" is the original low- price telegraph outfit for
students that has sold by the thousands and given universal satisfaction. It is con-
sidered the best 60- cent outfit ever produced, and, although we have made several im-
provements lately, the price is the same as before. In connection with a peculiar osciliating
electromagnet and a queer anvil the sounding board aids in giving out a loud, cleat click
that is found elsewhere only in noisy railroad sounders. This outfit is best adapted for
a learner's set of one instrument and a battery to be used on the table for practising,
either with or without the "codegraph," and not for telegraphing over wires to other
stations. OUTFIT: Illustrated Book of instructions, called " Fun with Telegraphy"; Tele-
graphy " Key"; Telegraph "Sounder"; Nickel- plated " Binding- Posts"; Insulated Wires
for connections.

This book is intended for boys who want the latest ideas
for making things, practical plans for earning money,
up-to-date suggestions for games and sports, and novel-
ties for home and school entertainments. The author
has planned the suggestions on an economical basis, pro-
viding for the use of the things at hand, and many of
the things which can be bought cheaply. Mr. Hall's
hooks have won the confidence of parents, who realize
that in giving them to their boys they are providing
wholesome occupations which will encourage self-reliance
and resourcefulness, and discourage tendencies to be
extravagant. Outdoor and indoor pastimes have been
given equal attention, and much of the work is closely
allied to the studies of the modern grammar and high
schools, as will be seen by a glance at the following list
of subjects, which are only a few among those discussed
in the 500 pages of text:
"Every boy should have this book. It's a practical book— it gets right next to the boy's
heart and stays there. He will have it near him all the time, and on every page there is
a lesson or something that will stand the boy in good need. Beyond a doubt in its
line this is one of the cleverest books on the market."—Providence News.
"We cannot imagine a more delightful present for a boy than this book."

SASE
What boy does not want to build his own spark coil. The thought of tediously winding
many thousand feet of fine hair- like wire into smooth even layers and the lack of proper
facilities to carry out some of the machine work required has deterred many from actually
making the attempt. We have solved the secret however, and the young experimenter
wishing to build his own coil can do so most economically by using the Amco Junior Spark
Coil Parts. We supply them with all the difficult work already done. No further machine
work is necessary. The secondary is wound and ready to slip on the primary. The metal
parts are all turned and threaded. The only tools required are a screwdriver and a small
drill or brace and wood hit. It is not necessary to buy any other parts in order to finish
the coil. They are all supplied and at a price that it would cost most experimenters to
buy the wire alone. Each set of parts is accompanied by an extremely well- illustrated set
of printed directions showing how to accomplish each step involved in putting the parts
together and completing the coil. The directions have been prepared by a well-known
writer and authority on such matters and you cannot possibly go wrong. It will only
require two or three hours' work to complete the coil and when it is finished you can
perform hundreds of interesting experiments as well as use the coil to send wireless
messages if you wish.
The complete set of parts consists of the wooden base, coil ende, coil tube, bridge, second-
ary ( completely wound), core, primary, complete interrupter, condenser, binding posts,
insulating tubes and all screws, etc., carefully packed in a strong box with directions.

Something To Think About
It takes mighty fine electrical apparatus to keep afloat
in the swift tide of competition these days. With all
that it means to us, competition would be useless if it
were not for appreciation.
Time has alloted to -Amco - products more success
than we ever dreamed, although not more than they
deserve. That is because you and the rest of our
patrons have shown your appreciation of our efforts
to turn out apparatus of quality.
Some claim that their business doubles every year but
the volume of ours doubles every six months.
THERE IS A REASON
We ask no more for our goods than is necessary to give
the best. If our prices are less, it means that our manu-
facturing facilities are better or more efficient or that
we are content with smaller profits. If our prices are
more, it means that we cannot give you quality for less.
Our goods do not need a guarantee—but for your
assurance we guarantee all -Amco - apparatus to give
absolute satisfaction when used under the conditions
for which it is designed, and will replace all defective
apparatus when returned under the conditions on the
inside cover. Conditions are only necessary as a safe-
guard the unscrupulous.
All apparatus or supplies listed in this catalogue under
the name -Amco - is of our own manufacture.
