CONSTANT POTENTIAL WINDINGS In view of the foregoing it becomes necessary to placethe primary and secondary coils of a constant potentialtransformer very close together and, as a matter of fact,modern transformers are built in sections with the pri-mary and secondary windings sandwiched between eachother and in some instances the windings are one on top MOTION PICTURE ELECTRICITY 53 of the other as illustrated in Figs. 22 and 23, in order tominimize the magnetic Fig. 22
