Coil terminology?

[fraghole]

What does the term 5 over 4 mean when it comes wrapping a coil?

 

[Thrasher]

wrap a string or a wire around something keeping the leads in the same direction when done.
look at it from a couple sides. from one side it looks like 5 wraps from the opposite side it looks like 4.

it just help to keep things clear when describing things your 4 might be a 5/4 my 4 might be a 4/3

Ah ha, that makes sense. Heard the term several times on YouTube, nice to know what it actually means.
Thanks Thrasher.

Hey Thrasher, I noticed in signature that you have a Cobra. I just got mine and I love it. I'm using the uwick setup on a Provari. How do you have yours setup, and how do you like it?
