John Freau,

	A few days ago you wrote me a letter saying that spark gaps do not
normally quench by the electrodes moving apart.  How DO they quench?  I
merely heard it explained to me that way by several other people. 
However, I would love to have an alternate theory to investigate and
debate with people.  Please let me (and everyone else on the list) know
how a rotary spark gap achieves better quenching than a static spark gap.
