More precisely, one end of the secondary is common with one of the primary
ends, and the other secondary end is actually a variable tap off the
primary. This way any ratio can be achieved but no circuit separation .

p.s. not sure if this is O.T. or not, since it deals with primary and
secondary ;-)
