That can be confused with a type of guitar pickup. :)

A center tapped filament transformer, or a 'hum balance' circuit to create an artificial center tap
will do
even better. That circuit was often no more than a 200 ohm pot across the winding, with the wiper
connected to ground, and both filament leads floating above ground. A 2W pot was common for this
use.

The other common term (at least on my side of the pond) was hum bucker.
