 How do most people configure their setup?  
 Do they place the rotary gap directly under the primary?  Make sense, as less
 lead inductance losses.  But then how do you run the 240V/110V supply for the
 rotary motor?  What about strikes to the 240V leads?

Garth,

I have my coil mounted on a cart with wheels and wheel it out to the driveway 
for set up.  I run the cables to the rotary motor through a square aluminum 
tube that is made as a downspout for rain gutters, which is then tied to 
ground.  The aluminum tube is about 10 feet long.
