Angel,

Actually it addresses link coupled tuners that with a tuned to resonance using a balanced tank circuit. You can feed balanced lines from taps placed equally out from center on the both coils. The center of the two coils is common (ground), and unbalanced loads can be fed between the tap on one coil and the common center connection.

The Johnson Matchbox is a bit different in that it uses a differential variable capacitor to adjust the electrical position of the coil taps.

Don, is this comment about unbalanced vs balanced line tuners, or something
specific to use of a balanced line tuner?

A good link coupled antenna tuning unit can cover a large range (Johnson
Matchbox is one example), and has many benefits that can be used today,
but few know how to use it to advantage.
