A cushion is obtained by impregnating an aqueous polyurethane polymer emulsion in three-dimensionally interwined fibers (1), removing an excessive aqueous polyurethane polymer emulsion and hardening the resultant material with heat. The surface of each fiber is covered with a polyurethane resin, and the fibers are bonded by the polyurethane resin (2) at intersected portions of the fibers (1).

A high voltage transformer incorporates a bobbin on which the primary winding is wound. The transformer auxiliary coils are wound directly over the primary winding with no intermediate layers of insulation. The wire turns of the auxiliary coils are evenly distributed over the full traverse of the primary winding to improve magnetic coupling and simplify tuning of the transformer.
