Hello.

I only Know this term as "slang" of
the time when private radio amateurs used
spark gap transmitters and it describes this:

Pretty much the same as the device Antonio showed us.

Non-Professional thoughts about the CW operation:
If everything ran perfect in a tesla magnifier you
could ideed get close to CW operation, but would require
very high breake rates in the same order of magnitude
as the output frequency.
