Sorry for off topic. Been researching some radio history. Did old time ship spark gap transmitters have high voltage on the key itself? From what I can tell it looks like they used a battery to the key and then made high voltage in spark coil or induction coil? I'm assuming this would of have been a step up transformer? If anyone knows about this stuff I had some questions.
