Description
Part of Harold F. Elliott's invention, "a simple new radio clock and tuner designed to accommodate any desired schedule of programs from 5 stations, with automatic 'On', 'Off' and Tuning at any quarter hour throughout 24 hours." Figure 3 "shows a 5 station tuner applied to a 6 tube A.C.-D.C. chassis. The tuner can be produced from a single set of tools for 6, 8 or 10 positions, one of which operates a switch to turn the set 'off'. Each position utilizes a pair of oppositely rotating gears which sweep the tuning condenser directly and precisely to the desired station. A small magnet connects a selected section with a compact shaded pole motor which does the driving. Light steel stampings and small screw machine parts constitute the mechanism which can be attached directly to any standard 2 or 3 gang condenser. All setting up and tuning operations are accomplished by the knob and buttons on the front panel. The tuner and the clock both operate directly from 110 V.-A.C."
