Just finished restoring my Philco 37-670 and the Rider service data mentions something called a "Philco High-Efficiency Aerial". It appears to be some kind of balanced line antenna, like a dipole or loop antenna. I searched online for what it might have been but came up empty. Does anyone know what kind of antenna they are referring to?

There is some info on page 3 here. I've never had one but have seen them at swap meets from time to time.
