Abstract
To reduce the potential magnitude necessary to break down the arc gap between an ignition distributor rotor segment output tip and each of the output electrodes of an associated distributor cap, a pair of electrical conductor members in electrical contact with the rotor body and segment at an area radially inwardly from the output tip of the segment are provided. These conductor members extend radially outwardly toward the rotor segment output tip in a manner to define a pair of circumferentially displaced terminating points in bracketing relationship with the output tip.
