The early flat bar Webster Magneto
wehre also available on IHC engines. Tis unique unit combined the magneto and igniter in a single assembly.
A push rod pickaway from its resting position.
As it tripped off, heavy springs quickliy returned the armature to its original position, thus generating a brief but large potential charge magneto, was also timed to open simultaneously, thus creating a hot spark. Make-and-brak systems were very simple from the electrical standpoint, but were machanically complicataed.
