Hi Patrick,
If you really want to see pictures of a classic, mesuem-quality, horizontal
Tesla coil, get a copy of "The Tesla High Frequency Coil" by Haller &
Cunningham. The original was published in 1910 by D. Van Nordstrand, NY. A
paper-back reprint is available (1995) from Lindsey Publications, P.O.Box 12,
Bradley, IL 60915-0012
  ISBN 1-55918-156-7.
Everything is included, from how to make HV bushings, to how to build the RSG
motor from scratch. You then build it yourself and take pictures.
