laying on cm/mm graph paper.
Orangey section is the laquered coil.
C area is the contact patch (supplying 2 HT leads in turn) moulded into the
surrounding paxolin? insulation, continued out to the boss marked P, but
otherwise looking like the tarnished brass sections in colour , marked B.

A is aluminium housing for the contact breaker
First comment is he has 5 of these , all not working at all or properly, so

He has one good magneto , he moves around 3 bikes. He can get some or all
nonworkers commercially reconditioned , at a price each. But of course he
would like all 5 rewound and he knows, like me , that having researched and
set-up for one then the following 4 rewinds are much easier. I use a
coil-winder machine but little experience of these sorts of coils.
No electrical data found on the net for these.
As received by me, the secondary measured 22K ohm, now reads 6.3K , at this ...
