Thanks Manfred, that's very clear!

Ok.  I see.

With your spreadsheet, I built a transformer to do filament, sg1, and
tapped sg2, and that worked real well.  Flux density is a little high at
1.4 so it will have a little muffin fan on it, so anyway I can now wind
a better transformer for the plate.  I will try the plate transformer I
have, and then probably build a new one for it.

Thanks for sharing with people on the Internet, Manfred.  You do a good
thing!
