Howard,
I believe that I read somewhere that the Cobra actually has three 
wires in the elements with wire 1 going to the end, connected to 
wuire 2 that comes back to the center but does not connect to it and 
wire 3 that runs from the center back to the far end.  That was a 
dismal explanation but hope you understood.  I've forgotten where I 
read that, perhaps on their website.
