(under the class definition) Subject matter in which a reactance element or elements of a tuned circuit is wound on a core and is adapted to be unwound therefrom, as on a second core, to change the reactance values of the tuned circuit.
(1) Note. Examples of subject matter classified here include an inductor whose element is wound from an insulating core to a conducting core, the conducting core short-circuiting the portion of the inductor element wound thereon; or a capacitor which is varied by winding or unwinding one plate of the capacitor over a second insulated plate shaped in the form of a cylinder or core.
