Let's compare apples to apples.
Here is the front end of the 38-690 - the 38-116 Code 125 front end is identical:
The link Chas posted in post #25, page 2, this thread shows (about halfway down the page) one side of the dipoles being grounded. This would also be the case with the 38-690 and 38-116 Code 125. In fact, if you study many of the schematics of 1938 Philco models, you will find that models 38-1, 38-2, 38-3, 38-4, 38-7, 38-8, 38-9, and 38-10 have similar front ends, all of which were advertised as being "designed for the Philco High Efficiency Aerial".
Feel free to discuss further. No arguing. Discussion is ok. Arguing is definitely not ok.
