Thanks for this comment.  I live in south east asia and things are
a little tricky to get or to identify.  I was in our machine shop 
selecting the tungsten rod I am going to use in my spark gap and
he showed me some in green and some in red.  The machinist
didn't know what the difference was nor I.  Now I know which
one to pick.
