  • Notes

  • Wall mounted crystal radio with a single slide tuner and early cat whisker galena detector with glass sleeve and unusual open top.

    There is another Gody detector like this one mounted horizontally on an ebonite panel. Hanging underneath from two brass hooks are an Abel Gody pocketwatch and a key to wind the watch. This would have been used to receive the Eiffel Tower time signals. Abel Gody was a watchmaker before he began making radios.

    The hook for the headphone moves up and down like that of a landline telephone to close the circuit when the headphone is removed from the hook and open the circuit when the headphone is returned to the hook.
