I have a variac that just arrived in the mail, a Powerstat rated 0-140vac at
22amps.  Will do nicely tuning a coil.  Now for the question:

There are 5 screw connectors which are labeled like this in a schematic on
the input/output panel:

1--<       >--4

This is a circular diagram, with the center brushes being at 3 (diagram has
an arrow indicating rotation at 3.)

Where do I connect the black and the white 115v house wires so that I don't
blow it up?  Which leads should be connected to the NST?

Thanks in advance.
