[TCML] still learning javatc 3 days, coil lenghth

[bartb]

Hi Douglas,

I wanted to apologize for not realizing what you meant by "r1 lv 2.2 r2 
hv15" in my last post to you. Today I realized you got that from Javatc! 
The fact is, we've never really used those terms so I simply wasn't 
adapted to recognize what you were saying. Those references (LV, HV) 
were included only a few revisions back at the request of a user. The 
low voltage end of the coil is how Geotc interprets radius 1 and height 
1 and the high voltage end relates to radius 2 and height 2. This comes 
into play mainly with flat secondary coils where the coil can be either 
"rim grounded" or "center grounded". Actually, your method of specs (r1 
lv 2.2 r2 hv15") is more descriptive.

Anyway, just wanted to say sorry for not realizing what you were 
specifying. I'll have to keep a better eye open on spec descriptions!

Take care,
Bart

PS. Did you ever figure out the problem?
