There was also a thread on paralleling a static gap with the rotary. The
idea was to protect the NST/Caps in the event of a missed rotary firing
(sort of a backup gap)...

Bob,

Richard Hull likes to use static gaps in series with a rotary gap, for
extra quenching action.  Is this what you're refering to?

The extra gaps will help the quenching a little, but will increase
the losses.  I prefer to just loosen the coupling a little, and use just
the rotary.

Cheers,
