Searching Maxwell on baluns on Google will turn up mostly baluns for
sale by various dealers, not how they work. Searching Lewallen will
turn up good data in answering your question on how does the current
get onto the outside of the shield braid.

If you want Maxwell's data on how the current gets there go to his web
page at www.w2du.com, Click on 'Read Chapters from Reflections 2',
and then click on Chapter 21, "Some Aspects of the Balun Problem."
