[This system consists of] two receiver coils [that] are maintained at a fixed spacing and moved on the same traverse line normal to the loop, one coil being closer to the transmitter than the other. The spacing may be 25-100 ft and the coils are initially horizontal and connected in series-opposition to the receiver amplifier. Normally the fields at the two coils are not equal and one of them is tilted to obtain a receiver minimum. 1, record 2, English, - Swedish%20two%2Dframe%20system

Cette méthode a été conçue et mise au point par les Suédois vers les années 1920 (...). Elle consiste à mesurer le rapport des amplitudes de la composante verticale du champ magnétique résultant en deux points P(1) et P(2) adjacents le long d'un cheminement à l'aide de deux bobines réceptrices 1 et 2 disposées horizontalement et séparées de quelque 15 m (50 pi) l'une de l'autre. 1, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20des%20deux%20cadres

The transmitter loop is a large rectangle, several thousand feet to the side. A long wire might also be used. The detector consists of two mutually perpendicular loops, one horizontal and one vertical, connected effectively in opposition through a transformer to amplifier and headphones. The vertical coil, with a fixed number of turns, is shunted by a capacitance to give parallel resonance at the source frequency and is connected through a reversing switch to the transformer primary. The horizontal coil has multiple taps for a variable inductance. The coils are about two feet in diameter and are mounted on a vertical post. 1, record 3, English, - Bieler%2DWatson%20method

[Méthode électromagnétique où la source émettrice est fixe et le récepteur mobile. Cette méthode] fait l'emploi d'un grand cadre rectangulaire disposé horizontalement sur le sol qui sert de source émettrice du champ primaire. On suppose que l'axe majeur de l'ellipse de polarisation qui représente la composante réelle du champ résultant est quasi vertical tandis que l'axe mineur qui représente la composante imaginaire est horizontal. Le récepteur est constitué de deux petits cadres rectangulaires qui sont mutuellement perpendiculaires. Le cadre horizontal mesure la composante réelle et le cadre vertical la composante imaginaire. L'axe majeur et l'axe mineur de l'ellipse de polarisation sont déphasés de 90 ° et ce sont les composantes du champ représentées par ces deux axes qui sont comparées. 1, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20Bieler%2DWatson
