Back when i was still interested in TV the multipole ring magnets on the = neck=20 of the CRT were called "purity rings". The field strengths were small = and they=20 were used adjust the collimation of the three electron beams to go = through the=20 shadow mask in the right direction.
That's not what he was describing. He was describing small chokes biased towards saturation with a permanent magnet. Inductance dependent upon magnitude and direction of current. These are for the purpose I have described.
Typically 10uH at zero current rising to 50uH at 5A in the "forward" direction. In the reverse direction, inductance doesn't decrease by much, as the core is pretty much saturated already. IOW, "forward" amp-turns neutralize the permanent magnet bias, reverse amp turns augment it.
Interesting thing to model.

This was measured and modeled (by me) at Sperry/Honeywell Space Systems Division. Seems to work well everywhere I've tried it.
Just add some bias in the denominator term for "I" to account for either a current bias OR a magnetic bias. ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Thanks, Jim, I'll play around with that. The function looks like it oughta be the right shape.

The trick there was a "bent gun", pointing off axis, at a slight angle. The magnet realigned the beam so that electrons went straight down the middle. Ions didn't get deflected by the magnet, and just hit the neck wall more or less harmlessly.
But you knew that already :-)

Yes. I learned that in the '60s when replacing CRTs. :) (I was 13) Instructions were packed with each one explaining why you no longer needed the Ion Traps.
