I would like to investigate this third coil system, but I dont find much
real data to guide any real test projects. I only see words....I nead real
project data to evaluate. Is it good or is it just fluff? Lots of opinion
and complaints about the historical name, but no real testing. Will it
correct for design errors or will it not? Lets get serious and stop jabbing
at each other with out any real tests to discuss.
