Ignition systems education

Peterwh
I must admit I've never really understood how ignition systems work.  I've always understood what I need and, to some extent, how to fix things but not the role of all of the components.  For example, I misunderstood the role of the condenser in some systems and I didn't understand the mechanism that causes the coil to create a spark.  I just read an excellent article at "the other place" and now feel much more enlightened.  You can find it at http\\:sohc4.net/Tech/HondaMES/HondaMES5.PDF.  I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand a bit more about their ignition system.
