I spent some time today reading the first installment of The Impoverished Radio Experimenter. The author describes how to wind #24 enamel wire around a Quaker Corn Meal box. He mentions "tapping" the wire at certain points and I do have some idea of why he would want to do that and at what locations along the wire, but I'm unclear about details of how the actual tapping is supposed to be done. For example, is one supposed to cut the enamel insulation and solder a lead to the wire there or is there some kind of clip that will penetrate the enamel and make the connection?
