Spark Gap Transmitter coil

Old spark gap coil- 30K

This is the coil that is sitting on the desk in the photo of Doc Herrold and Ray Newby. The coil is currently sitting in the KCBS engineering department. The apparatus on the right side of the coil apparently set the frequency of the vibrator that opened the contacts to the coil. The adjustable screws on the top could be set for the best arc across them. Hook it up to coils and an antenna and you were "On the Air"!
