Hay, don't feel bad! I've been in and out of the hospital oer the last 
month so I've been late on my mail too.

Perhaps there is some misinterpretation. I was speaking of Dr. Tesla's 
inductionless wirewound resistors wherein you take a length of wire and 
fold it in half then wind it on a form such that the two leads stick out.
The wire being folded against itself cancels it's own magnetic field and 
thus it posseses no inductance.

Sounds to me like a misnomer, it is not really an "induction-less" coil but
a power factor compenstion; waste due to power factor losses have been 
reduced by making it resonate with the applied A.C by virtue of the 
distributed capacitance.
