The

and

The

distributor
is
of
the

and
is

equipped
with
a

pick

which

electrically
detects
the

igni

in

of

The
transistor

is
a
new
addition
which

generates
the

signal
required
for
the
make

and
break

of
the

primary
electric
current
for
the

ignition
coil

The
circuit
is

equipped
with
a

resistor

During
cranking
electrical

current

bypasses
the

secondary
resis

tor

thereby
connecting
the

ignition

coil

through
the

primary

This

makes

battery

ficiently

keeps
