Coil internal resistance

Hi Dave, thanks for your explanation regarding the role of inductive resistance in the primary ignition circuit whenever the engine is running. I have a follow-up question regarding the way coil manufacturers add internal resistance. You seem to imply that they add a separate resistor inside the coil. It was my understanding that coil manufacturers vary internal primary resistance by simply using heavier or lighter gauge wire in the primary windings. Would this alter the heat buildup/distribution concern you described? Don
