Reproduction Thompson Plaster Spark Gaps
These gaps are unique in that they are stationary, yet adjustable through
the use of a sliding arm that short circuits the number of gaps not wanted in
the circuit. They are ideal for voltages from 3,500 - 25,000V or more. |

Stationary Series Quenched Spark Gap
This gap has no insulting substances to separate the disks.
Mica or bakelite washers used in the early gaps tended to arc
over time and require frequent cleaning or changing. |
