Hello percyjd,
The Utube channel, jimsradioshop, just posted several videos on this very antenna. He goes into detail on how the antenna was built and how it connects to the radio. He also attempts to "test" the validity of the design, but without much success. It does improve the reception but the receiver had not been re-capped and I don't believe the tubes were verified as being good. So try watching it, I usually fast forward through the slow parts. I think it's quite a coincidence to see two radios the same week that have this antenna. But his is a Philco and the patent owner worked for Philco.
