A Question for Richard Hull.

Richard,
	One of our junior engineers asked an interesting question
that maybe you have some thoughts on. Could a picture tube be used
in Tesla operation? We have a number of obsolete Monochrome monitors
around here that we are currently throwing away. And, this is such
a waste of good High Voltage Tubes, that maybe another use could be
found for these devices.

P.S.: Finished my flat plate capacitor, 50 peices 13"x8" Aluminum
      flashing. And 15 sheets of 6 mil polyethylene between each
      plate. Measured dry at .0285 uF. I Placed it in a plastic
      comforter box and filled it with 3 gallons of Mineral oil.
      I'm going to let it set for a week before I fire it though.
      I'll keep you posted. Pictures coming soon (I Hope).

Big Red, HV Capacitors. I Burned them up.
