	EVERY presentation of this data i have seen, for any shape
	electrodes and for any pressure, etc, foo, mumble is nonlinear.

	It is not reccomended to extrapolate.  (plus or minus a few percent
	in volatge, fine, but iof the voltage is substantially different from
	where the gap was calibrated, the extrapolation will be very iffy.)
