Re: 20s Audio xfmr with deliberate shorted turns Why?
It could have been a very misguided later addition.
There were some rather strange and thoroughly wrong ideas circulating back then. For an example, look up 'Stenode reception'. So things from the past don't have to work or make sense. Someone may have tried a strange idea out and it didn't catch on simply because it didn't work.
As Kalee says, it'll clobber inductance and ruin the low frequency response. In later years we'd have wondered what they were smoking.
