One of the characteristics of a series resonant circuit is that each
component (L and C) sees the same voltage with a phase/time
displacement is it not? The reactances are the same at resonance and
the currents are the same so......

      In both cases, the gap setting determines the voltage the
transformer is subjected to. In the case where the capacitor is in
parallel with the transformer however, the transformer sees the full
primary ringing voltage whereas with the gap in parallel with the
transformer, the transformer sees momentary transients only.
