Dear Chip

No-one took me up on the question of the toroid as a shorted turn. I'm sure 
that this shapes the E field and I suspect it flattens it a lot at the top 
of the secondary possible explaining the predominantly horizontal 
streamers. I'm not sure that the Etesla6 pics (on another thread) takes 
this into account.

I hope to split my toroid duct tubing to unshort the turn for comparison. 
Has anyone else done this?
