Larry, OK I'll take it on.
There is no such thing as a 1/2 turn on a toroid.
Everytime the wire goes in, that counts as an additional
turn. Probably the count came about in the olden days
when someone saw that the first turn started at the
board, went into the center of the toroid and didn't look
like a full turn.
In fact, if you put a piece of wire from the PC board
through the toroid and then back into the board on the
other side, it would to a human being look like a half-
turn, but it counts as a full turn.
