Why not ask Richard Hull?  He's into fusors now, but I'm sure he'd respond
to a letter or email.
Try: rhull-at-infionline-dot-net

TCBOR is Tesla Coil Builders of Richmond (VA).

Since Richard was very much into magnifiers, I would venture to say that his
article (without having seen it) probably had a fair amount to say about
magnifiers.
