That's the plan Stan...er, Ed. : )   Someone today has suggested 
putting the primaries in parallel.  I wouldn't want to do that.  
I think balancing the current would be hard or impossible, and I'd have to 
wind many more turns on each primary making them more expensive and 
unneccessarily large.  I could be wrong, and part of the purpose of 
this entire construction project is to learn from doing something 
I've never done before.
