This is a question that would be better addressed on the Bottlehead forum.

Way back when Western Electric was designing bigger and bigger transmitters, they ended up with iron designs that became difficult (if not impossible) to be wound because of size. They developed parallel feed to address this, which requires twice the individual pieces of iron (a choke and an output transformer per channel), but each piece ends up being less than half the weight of the original.
