Hi Terry,
This is a very interesting observation indeed:

I actually noted in more recent notes on my artificial line
model (which I didn't release to the list) that Cdistr appeared to
follow the electric field intensities along the resonator.
The other night, I was leafing through the CSn yet again and
found a section somewhere around p220 where Tesla actually noted that
he thought Cself of a cylinder could be used as an approximation for
his Cdistr. I hadn't previously seen that note.
I think you are absolutely right that Cself has little to do with
inter-turn capacitance. Tesla never realized this at first and made
heroic attempts to cancel inter-turn capacitance.
Very nice experiments.
