Will refers to Eric Lowdons book, published by Sams.

Another book on transformer design is by the late Reuben Lee, one of 
Westinghouse's high voltage experts, dated 1947. "Electronic 
Transformers and Circuits".

I have found info on transformer, choke and saturable reactor design 
in very old GE Review and other industry pubs like that, in the 
1915-1930 era. Check a good university library, or if you happen to 
be near a National Laboratory....
