Dennis O.: I found the same thing, which is what got me thinking about
how a Pi-network works -- i. e., that it's actually two L-network /
Z-transformers in series. However, the confusion is understandable
since two L-networks in series is similar to a tank circuit in that it
provides a flywheel effect to augment the non-conduction half of the
sinewave in other than Class A amplifiers,
