Used to measure the wavelength ( actually the frequency) of a radio transmitter in the range 0.5 Mc/s - 150 Mc/s .

Resonance of a capacitor/ inductor circuit is detected by an incandescent lamp with a very fine hairpin filament as the capacitace is varied.

A wide range is achieved by use of five plug-in inductor coils with the following ranges

1) 0.5 - 1.6 Mc/s

2) 1.6 - 5 Mc/s

3)5 - 16 Mc/s

4)16 - 50 Mc/s

5)50 - 150 Mc/s
