(under the class definition) Inductor devices wherein the core is built up of elements of directionally prestressed material so arranged as to exhibit desired directional magnetic and/or electric properties. Usually the desired directional property is produced by taking advantage of the anisotropy of the crystal structure of the magnetic material
by rolling and then heating to orient the grain structure, the permeability of the resultant product being a maximum in the direction of rolling.

20, for inductors wherein a change in inductance is effected by physically distorting the core.
