Wishing to complete his experiments. during a week-end, when no shops were open, he connected his set to a German soldier’s helmet, a trophy of the late war, which he buried in his coal cellar. He claims that his reception is better than he can recall having enjoyed previously, and says that if the war did nothing else it made his listening pleasurable.
