[TCML] Terry Filter Question

[Brandon Hendershot]

They aren't all in series. The resistors, filter caps, and MOV's are  
all in parallel with eachother along the HV line. look at some  
pictures online, it should be pretty clear.

It goes:
NST-------MOV's---spark gap
        \---Filter Caps---/
          \---Resistor---/
