RE: Safety gap electrodes

["Duke, Ronn (CCI-San Diego CCC)" <Ron.Duke-at-xxxxxxx> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-xxxxxxxxxx>)]

I was going to try 1 inch long pieces of 1 in. copper pipe mounted side by
side turned 90* from each other. That way the spark gap would be 1 in. round
and self centering.  Any comments?

reply was
	to provide a source of a brass ball distributor. As I recall, this

	I will check my 3-ring binder tonight. I kept a print out.

	I am working on a new sync rotary gap and want to install a new
safety gap 
	across the rotary.  I plan on setting the gap to approximately
.450".  I
	have 
	used # 10 copper wire for this in the past with 1.0" dia. loops on
each end.

	I would like to use 1.0" to 2.0" round copper or brass electrodes
for the
	new 
	safety gap.  Does anyone know where I can get these?  Hopefully
somewhere 
	that does not require a $25.00 minimum order. 

	Thanks, Ed Sonderman
