	While I thought the subject was capacitors in the primary when I wrote
my original note, remember that the tank capacitor is connected to the
transformer secondary in series with the tank inductor.  At 50 or 60 Hz
the reactance of the latter is nil, so the charging circuit really is a
parallel configuration.
