Original poster: "Ed Phillips by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <evp-at-pacbell-dot-net>

Any attempt at writing a reference text for unsophisticated readers (on
any technical subject) has in it the potential for publishing incorrect
material which could lead to failure for the reader, with consequent
waste of time, perhaps money, and emotional energy.  There is a lot of
nonsense floating around on the subject of Tesla coil construction (on
lots of other topics too, of course) and from some of the notes posted
here I suspect that the authors have been misled by bum information and
experienced on or more of these failures.  Peer review is an essential
for the preparation any legitimate reference work.  If the "peers"
disagree on some topic the author/editor has a warning signal indicating
further work is needed.
