Screen tap on Transformer?

[G._Hoffman]

I am looking at some toroidal output transformers, and some of them have screen taps.  What is that?

That is a ultralinear transformer.

Screen taps are for ultralinear (UL) amps. Mostly hifi stuff. There are a few guitar amps that are UL. Usually clean sounding amps. I have two UL amps...

You can ignore the screen taps and just insulate the ends of the leads.

Thanks!  I'm not actually planing on using it, I was just looking at it and hadn't seen it before.  I figure I should use up the transformers I have in the house before I buy anything more, particularly since they work for the amp I am thinking of building.
