Steve,

I agree...excellent pictures.  I saved them in my personal
archive of pictures from people in the TC community.  I was
wondering about the noise from the IGBT switching as well.
Not just the dB level but the characteristics of the sound...
is it a staccato effect like a disruptive coil?  Or is it more like
a VTTC staccato circuit sound?  If you have the time and
equipment to record a .wav file it would be great!

Incredible stuff you and Terry are doing there.
