Stuart:

The Johnson differs from modern balanced tuners in that it used link coupling (a tuned transformer with inductive coupling) rather than a matching network.

It also had the advantage over home brew link couplers that you tuned it with knobs instead of moving little clips around on the big coil.

The MFJ balanced tuner has a double tee network to give the most range of
adjustment.

Note even the vaunted Johnson Matchbox did not cover all of today's bands
and impedances.
