whay we must observe just large TC sparks (or maybe sparks of a large
TC?)? can you give an example of a big coil, that is noticeably
exceeded 1.7*sqrt(P)?
we can try like in B & R - to turn the film by hand - continuous sweep %-)

i don`t remember exactly, but doesn`t the "banjo" is just the moving a
spark aside (for example under flow of air)?
anyway - why it can`t be the same stepped leader - why dart? coz
"prolonging" it`s not about the "dart".
if at the end of the discharge its direction changes relatively to the
old one, or moreover - the branch is born - what dart is it?
