Hi John, Gary,

Maybe this would also explain why I have never been able to get a 
4-gap asynch rotary gap to operate without
extremely erratic firing that often destroys some of the upstream 
primary circuit or control circuit components
with the nasty resultant kickbacks? This problem com-
pletely disappears once I bypass the extra 2 gaps and
go with just 2 gaps.
