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 6, 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 6, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20Bieler%2DWatson
