[Amps] Air gap for 12000 volts?

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

That information used to be in the Handbook.  It was under dielectric properties of capacitors in one of the
introductory chapters.  I don't recall if the table went to 12000V, but I think I remember a formula for figuring it
out.

they list a gap of .250 for 9kv.
