To provide for extended true running of the distributor shaft and prevent wear on relatively movable mechanical components within the distributor, such as a shaft and bearings, a centrifugal spark advance/retard mechanism, or the like, the relatively movable parts are included in the lubricating circuit of the engine, for example by being connected to the pressure lubrication system of the engine or located to be exposed to oil mist in the engine compartment and arising upon operation of the engine, so that the relatively movable parts are constantly lubricated by the engine lubricating system.

Positively lubricated distributor construction for internal combustion

To improve operating reliability and centric guidance of the switch contacts in sealed breaker contact assemblies, a carrier bolt, extending through a flexible membrane into a chamber, and carrying a movable contact, is operated by a lever which has a lever arm movable in the direction of the cam shaft of the breaker assembly, the lever being V-shaped and pivoted at the apex of the V, and engaging the cam shaft with an arm which is opposite to the arm which operates the contact bolt.
