Using a viberator is differant than the opening and closing of the points of
an engine. By the way that diagram is not correct. "The condenser goes
across the points. It is there to prevent arcing. It does this by slowing
down the colapsing of the magnetic field which produces the other half of
the AC waveform.


Just had a more serious look at that diagram. The points
ign I've worked on, B+ goes to ballast resistor, to coil.
Points switch the - side of the coil, with condensor going
from points to ground. So, I also question the accuracy
of that diagram.
