The BC-610, and the HT4-B both have the same final configuration, according
to schematics I have for both.
A link-coupled output, at least in this instance, can feed either a balanced
or an unbalanced line.
With both ends of the output link above ground, and attached to a balanced
feeder, or load, the link can be adjusted to match the output to that load
(unless that load is very much out of range out of range).
With one end of the link to ground (often through a variable capacitor), and
the other end above ground, and conected to an unbalanced load, the link can
match an unbalanced load, such as a 50 coax.
This scenario is entirely independent of whether the final is push-pull or
single-ended. It comes under the broad defination of "transformation".

The BC-610 has an un-balanced output. Generally, had it been 'push-pull',
it
would have been with a balanced output. In essence, it only utilizes half
the coil on the jack bar. I just had this very same conversation not too
long ago.

Just curious, here.
Someone mentioned that the BC-610 has a 50 ohm output. Well, I don't
remember ever having seen a BC-610, but I do have an HT4-B (the civilian
version of the BC-610, made in 1938), which does not (in stock form, at
least) have a 50 ohm output, it has a balanced output.
So, I may be talking about, and giving advice about, something else.
