Actually what I observed was;  When I turn up my variac for the NST. the
toroid will begin discharging slowly at first and emit sparks at about 1
spark every second or so. As the variac is increased, the sparks become more
rapidly discharged. When slowly discharging at a slow rate, I could watch
the clear bulb dim during this discharge. Have I confused everyone yet??
