[TCML] Srike Rail and other questions.

["andrew" <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am Building my first coil and have some questions. 

1. I have a 4 MOT stack transformer and an inverse pyramid type primary. How
high above the outside winding should I make the strike rail?

2. I started to build a Terry filter but have read that they are
specifically for protecting NST's because of the fragile nature so I have
stopped making it to save costs etc. I have got the 2x 1000 ohm resistors
and wondered if there was any merit in placing them in the circuit between
the safety gap and the main gap (a sucker one) and if they would offer any
protection.

3. Safety Spark gap. Do I need a safety gap with MOTs.

4. With a 4 Mot Stack do I need a center tap. If so should it be tied to the
RF ground?

Here are the bits I've made so far...
