"I've seen the article you make reference to before. Note that it looks at not how power is distributed (or combined) across the two series connected loads (i.e., porimary halves) by the output transformer.. meaning it does not show you the plate curves and the loads across the plate curves for each tube... nor how the tubes develop power into a load... rather it describes the condition which occurs *after* each half pri has developed power across a load and the transfomer has combined these two series connected loads... "
The tube would not give the hair off a possum's tail to know what the transformer or anything else is up to.
It sees a load z = v/i. In this case v is 1/2 the v across the entire primary.
Anything inconsistent with this is either double-talk or ignorant nonsense... or ignorant double-talk.
