Terry,

Thanks.  Yeah, I really just set out to demonstrate a
difference in quenching and max spark length between
two static gaps in my 6" system only........the scope
quenching data being the more useful of the two,
depending on what you're after.

I think a few guys assumed I was trying to derive data
applicable to a model we could use to design better TC
systems in the future.  I'm not really appropriately
equipped to do such a thing at the moment.
Personally, I am of the opinion that it would take
multiple identical systems or a vast computer
simulation on a Beowulf cluster (Paul) to achieve
anything that could be used to derive a model.
