 There would be 6 copper or brass disks, each about 1 inch diameter and 1
 inch long, all in a line, thus forming 5 gaps (visualize as a sliced
 salami). >>
I was going to attempt this type of gap with ceramic washers between washers
of some type of metal and put the entire assembly in a glass tube, or have a
neon man put it in a tube and pump it down and put in a nitrogen fill. The
threaded rod is my problem, one that will take the heat,is threaded, and an
insulator.Ceramic would work if someone were skilled enough to make it. A
series gap like that would not corrode or ever need cleaning as long as it
remained sealed.     Stephen Sanders
