	I've been reading the comments on this subject, and want to make my
final comment before Terry gets tired of it.  Exquisitely-precise
analytical models of TC's are of little use unless they take into
account the effect of the impedance of the discharge once "breakout"
occurs; ignoring it gives rise to ridiculous claims as to voltage.  Just
look at the gap spacing you can get with a Jacob's ladder run from a
small transformer.  Many times the breakdown spacing before the
discharge starts.  All of the worries about coil Q are also probably a
waste of time for the same reason.
