Abstract
We report on the hexagonally shaped toroidal air-core magnet used in t he magnetic spectrometer of the CHORUS experiment at CERN. The novel a nd unique features of this magnet are the radially-constant field over its entire volume, with field lines straight and parallel to the hexa gonal sides, and the negligibly small field-free region along its cent ral axis. A detailed description of its construction and performance i s given.
