One way or another,and as stated in previous posts,there's still a lot of work ahead before we come to the points relevant to spark propagation considerations. --- I wrote: ,I think some > > preliminary scoping tests under obvious breakout > would > > come in handy.Only problem here is the requirement > of > > the high precision of scoping. snip;) --- Someone might misinterpret my words "under breakout" here.I have just noticed this. It could be wrongly understood as "during obvious breakout" or "in breakout". I was certainly refering to the energy shot below or prior to visible breakout of secondary. Words below and under have quite a similar meaning to me but when put in context can change the point upside down. My apologise if I caused any confusion as conserns this matter. regards, Boris __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
