Re: Elecraft Digest, Vol 16, Issue 31 -- Toroid Use and History

What is the theory, or greater breadth of physics about toroid  transformers?
When did they come about, and what was the logic in replacing “C”  or “E”
frames (for non-RF applications).
 
I had an old Uti-Com Communications radio that used a toroid switcher, and  
many other aspects of the radio were of quite modern design for its time frame.
 It even used a strip-line of 6360’s as buffer/multipliers, one as the
driver,  and two as the final.
 
I saw a transformer design once for an “intrinsically safe” isolator for  “DC
” analog lines, and the toroids used in this “phased switcher/rectifier”
were  covered with ferrite covers. I also seem to remember that design in the
Western  Electric 247B tone decoder.
