Abstract
An ignition distributor wherein a movable output electrical contact having at least two diametrically opposed tip portions is mounted upon the distributor rotor at a location at which it is revolved by the rotor through a circular path about the axis of the distributor shaft. As the movable electrical contact is revolved by the rotor, it is rotated about its axis through driving gearing and is so arranged that, as it is rotated by the driving gearing, each successive one of the tip portions is rotated into electrical circuit relationship with the next successive one of the distributor output terminals and the diametrically opposed tip portion is rotated into electrical circuit relationship with the distributor input terminal.
