A coil form for supporting both symmetric and antisymmetric magnetic field correction coils includes a system or circumferential slots and axial grooves disposed at various depths in the form to achieve the desired winding pattern. A winding method for this coil form is provided in which tension in the winding conductor, preferably a superconductive material, is maintainable at all times during assembly, and increased upon immersion in cryogenic fluid. Accordingly, the coil form and winding method provide a means for constructing axisymmetric coils which are resistant to frictional motion and which may be placed in direct contact with cryogenic fluids.
