Malcolm,

you ought to check Tesla's Colorado Springs Notes. In the beginning he 
tackles primary oscillations. he used an actively quenched gap (motor) but 
added one (or two) extra capacitors and another coil (inductance) into the 
tank. he concluded once the gap was quenched, the oscillations were allowed 
to flow between the primary cap/coil and the extra cap/coil without the gap 
firing, this allowed for maximum oscillations occur. i don't have the 
schematics at the computer right now. but if you are interested i will 
surely post them...there are several variations. some of them look 
'dangerously' close to the equidrive system that we know today.
