July 8 1899 CSN;
(On Teslas wide spacing of secondary wires)
"From this it follows that in such a machine the free
vibration of the secondary can never be quite ignored
even if the electromotive source is not
extraordinarily high. Now directly as the free
vibration of the secondary becomes an important
element to consider in the design, the careful
adjustment becomes obviously imperative. It goes
without saying that Q should be a large as possible in
all cases where resonant rise is one of the objects,
But here is is where we find in practice, and
particularly in a large machine, difficulties not
easily overcome.  Both the inductance and capacity
grow rapidly as turns are added, SO MUCH SO THAT VERY
SOON IT IS FOUND THE SECONDARY PERIOD BECOMES LONGER
THAN THAT OF THE PRIMARY."

One can easily read meanings into that statement. I
understand it in the literal basis, as what is said is
what it means ,despite the machinations of reasoning
needed to verify it.
