I mention Bieniosek in my references. The papers and patent are
interesting
to see how a magnifier configuration arises in a practical (although
quite esoteric) problem. These things are used to charge pulse forming
lines in particle beam generators, radar transmitters, etc. 
There are some errors in the formulas, corrected in my site. The
procedure
for the calculation of the element values can be also much simpler than
what is outlined in the papers.
