	Some time back someone posted the results of some harmonic measurements
with a spectrum analyzer.  Harmonics (due presumably to nonlinearity in
the conduction of the primary gap or the secondary streamers) are
present, but not very much power in them.  If you look at CSN photos you
will see that the harmonically-excited coils were small.
