IIRC 3 thermistors; Raouf added a non-sensing thermistor in the middle
to increase temperature differential. Earlier units like Crossfell used
2.

Thanks: effectively a hot wire solution, then, with the centre thermistor
serving as the hot wire.

I presume the two-thermistor was effectively the same, i.e. pushing
current through both thermistors and relying on the upstream thermistor
to warm the air before it reached the downstream one.
