    of primary coil.
pri.......34 turns of # 12 stranded pvc ins. wire close wound, flattish 
inverted cone, 15% angle.
hook-up wire....# 12
cap...   .007uF polypropylene  
sync-gap....Special series quenching rotary, 8 spinning and 8 fixed
   electrodes.  Gives 120 breaks per second.  ( a good vacuum quenched,
   cylinder gap...multiple static...should work about as well ).
