We certainly have a nomenclature disparity! I'll agree with Gary
that the wild legs are in series as regards current flow, and further
argue that they are therefore also in series topologically. I sent
Bob Swinney a 3D CAD model to support my wild-legs-in- series
topology assertion without regard to current flow.

As Clinton would have said, "define parallel....." G


Yeah. Draw a tank circuit like this:


x--------------x

= )

x--------------x

and it looks like a parallel circuit.

But draw it like this:

x---------||-------))))---------x

x-------------------------------x

and it looks like a series circuit.

But electrically they are the same circuit.
