Abstract: A deflection yoke for a television picture tube having coplanar in-line electron guns includes vertical and horizontal coil windings selected for providing self-convergence and north/south pin cushion correction. The desired characteristics are achieved by winding the vertical coil for converging the electron beams along the vertical axis of the picture tube viewing screen and by winding the horizontal coil in a saddle configuration wherein an aperture devoid of wire turns is provided in the front end of the horizontal coil facilitating the achievement of a high third harmonic content winding distribution simultaneously with a comparatively high fifth harmonic content winding distribution.
