[AT] grounded coil

[Chris Britton]

I can't speak for anybody else.. but I can sure draw that -very- simple 
schematic.

Here's a link to a nice simple pic and explanation of a kettering ignition 
system we are all ( should be ) familiar with.

You'll notice the grounded points.. and what function they serve in the 
primary circuit.

Ever wonder why points burn without a condensor?
Can we say -debouncer?-
