Dear Friends

Now I have here this tune coil.

I think it is an A.L.D., but I didn't find the logotype in this manufacturer page to confirm.
Do you know this coil's name in English? Here in Portugal we call it: "honeycomb coil".

Can you help me?

Thank you

Mario

It is a "Basket Coil", in German "Korbbodenspule". ALD is a German make as the D.R.P. (Deutsches Reichs-Patent = German patent) clearly states.

A Honeycomb coil (Honigwabenspule) is somewhat different.
These are Honeycombs:

Thank you very much for your  help and explanation.

By the way, have you an English name for Steckspule? Is Steckspule  another coil model different from these ones already mentioned?

Cordially

Mário

"Steckspule" is in English simply "plug-in coil".

Crystal sets (and also early valve sets) with built in standard broadcast coil often have a socket for a plug-in "loading coil" for long wave reception (in German "Verlängerungsspule"). See Brownie 2  or Re-Echo (both GB/UK).

Kind regards,
