Capacitors in series with the gap and transformer output? The capacitors,
with the primary coil in series with them, shall be in parallel with the
gap and the transformer output. Or, in other words, the primary capacitor,
the primary coil, and the gap, must be connected in series, with the
output of the transformer connected in parallel with the gap.
