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 ?


**Like these?

Yes it would seem R-Core, eg

I wonder how they are made.
Coils formed and laid over the bare cores which are then joined somehow
farely seemlessly and then perhaps 4 sections of quartered pre-moulded epoxy
covers slid over the cores and under the coils and plastic welded into place
