You're probably refering to Greg Leyh's spectacular Electrum project.
It *does* have a primary, but it's inside the secondary.  I assume
you meant to say "primary" in your question.  Then again, your
comment about the 15 foot winding, suggests that you do mean
the secondary.  I'm not sure what you're really asking.
