ELEMENTS OF THE AUTOMOBILE: IGNITION \[PART 1\] Produced: 1930 Description Shows, by animation, how a mechanical circuit breaker, attached to the ignition coil, breaks the primary circuit so that a spark is ignited by the spark plug; how the rotation of the camshaft controls the circuit breaker; and how the distributor controls the firing order by relaying the circuit "breaks" to each spark plug in a four-cylinder engine. https://catalog.archives.gov/id/35644
