French frame antenna with clock |
|
Made of wood and cardboard,
covered with imitation crocodile leather and gold coloured
ornaments. With rectangular wind-up clock. The actual antenna is
hidden in the rim. |
| The antenna only
receives the magnetic component of the antenna signal,
thus eliminating a part of the interference. |
| This type of
antenna was very popular in Belgium and France. It was
made in France, around 1955. |

The two plugs must be connected to the antenna
and earth sockets of a radio. After tuning the radio, the frame
antenna then needs to be tuned, using the knob on the upper left. The
other knob is used to select the wave length: medium, two long
wave ranges,
and short. In that case, the antenna input socket (below left)
has to be used.
The second long wave range is a fixed range for radio station "Paris Inter"
(later "France Inter")
on 1852 meters. |
