  Yes, your situation is different because of the STR and
  variable BPS.  I know of no explanation for the behaviour
  of your gap.  I assume the gap spacings were adjusted to
  be the same in both cases.  I sure would have liked to see
  that effect !  The only thing I can figure is that in one case
  the electrodes were rising, and in the other case they are
  falling, so it may cause a difference in air swirling due
  to the effect of the base of the rotary, but I wouldn't think
  it would make much difference.  Differences in airflow is
  all i can think of though.

 Hi John,
 
 The air swirl idea could be one explanation but like you, I have 
 trouble seeing how this would make any difference either. I have
 heard some say that the best quenching of RQ type multiple
 stationary gaps sometimes occurs with the blower NOT set 
 for maximum air velocity so maybe there could be a correlation
 here? Anyone else have an explanation for this strange RSG
 behavior?
