The above data extracted from the SCR-274-N manuals presents the data for
the secondary winding awkwardly.

The specified tap at 1325 turns is from the *top* of the secondary (terminal
3 to terminal 6), so the number of effective turns in the 600-ohm secondary
(terminal 6 to T-1 case) is 475 turns.

A quick check of one -B model here that is connected for 8000-ohm output
shows a DC resistance of 312-ohms terminal 3 to ground, while another -B
model here that is connected for 600-ohm output shows 129-ohms terminal 6
to ground.
