Abstract
An electric induction coil assembly for heating workpieces of varying lengths has a plurality of axially-aligned induction coils. The coil turns are spaced along the axis of the coil assembly where within the axial distance necessary for a first coil to complete one turn, a portion of at least one other coil is interposed between corresponding points of the first coil. The axial length of the energized coil assembly is controllable by increments of less than the pitch length of a coil.
