  • A demonstration coherer Receiver for training purposes.

    A coherer was linked to a device such as a recorder or a bell to register the signal and to a ‘tapper’. A mechanical tap to the coherer released its metal filings, making it non-conductive and ready to receive the next signal.

    See Marconi's first Coherer Receiver.
