A friend of mine at GVSU has a [HV VOLTAGE DIVIDER], If it would help
anyone, I would be happy to get some info or spec's. on the device and pass
them along.

Chris,
It's a very challenging design problem. And, the divider will be quite
sensitive to changes in the surrounding E-field. Since TC sparks create
shifting space charge regions with corresponding fluctuating E-fields in
the surrounding air, accurate direct measurements can be done only if the
Tesla coil is not actively creating streamers/leaders.
you might look at commercial products made from this:
Not a lot of design info, but
http://www.rossengineeringcorp.com/products/measurement/hv-voltage-dividers.html
is an example.
I'm sure there's stuff out there about designing a divider to work with
the output of a Marx at megavolt levels - way above what a TC will put out.
