Topband: Fw: Spark gaps

Tom is correct.  very Low resistance and of some size is necessary to pass 
the charge on down into the earth.

Carbon arcs  used in movie projectors produced a very bright light for the 
large viewing screen- heat was a bi-product.
Bright light and heat are un-wanted for lightening control.
