Default Generic name for USA style of mains transformer?

Well I only see it in USA kit. A toroid but flattened into an elipse
shape in plan view and a coil around each straight section. The
curved ends of the ring are exposed. Laminated core construction so
easy coil winding ?


**Sounds like an 'R' core tranny to me. Excellent isolation, but higher loss
than a toroidal.
