Circularizers in an endless mirror device with l=2 and l=3 helical windings were designed using computer calculations of the magnetic surfaces. The parameters determined were substituted into the approximate equations obtained by E. Friman et al. to confirm their adequacy. It was found that the circularizer pitch is two and three times larger than that in a helical system of l=2 and l=3, respectively; that the circularizer may be mounted anywhere in the mirror part; and that the circularizer current I_c needs about one third that required of helical systems. ©1987 The Physical Society of Japan
