 Hello All;
 
 A while back there was a thread about the mathematics of TC's. I finally
 scanned in the chapter from that book I mentioned I had and have put the
 PDF file of it on my website (if you can call it that) at:
 
 http://www.onr-dot-com/user/geoffs/geoffs/resoxfmr.pdf
 
 I had to capture (OCR) it down from over 10Megs to a more manageable 1.4Meg
 file. The OCR process caused a lot of weird font shifts/non-recognitions to
 occur so I had to spend several hours cleaning up all 22 pages. It's still
 not 100% perfect but it looks ok when you read or print it (except that the
 first few pages use a larger font than the rest of the document, Acrobat is
 strange sometimes and I'm no expert with it).
 
 Anyway, this file is an interesting read about some of the methods used to
 generate megavolt high-frequency power for various uses (X-ray machines and
 medical accelerators among others). The math may be a bit much if you
 dislike systems of differential equations but that's only on about 2 pages
 and it's not hard to follow the derivations. The schematics are pretty
 cool, too. Those of you in Europe may find the bibliography interesting if
 you have access to a library with a collection of 50-70 year old
 periodicals!
 
 Enjoy and let me know what you think. I'll leave the file there for a
 couple of days but then it'll have to go. I only have 5Meg allotted by my
 ISP and I'd like to get a real webpage set up. (There's also a copy of that
 Wintesla Beta on my webpage, it's an interesting program).
 
 Geoff
