Abstract
The cathode of the gas-discharge devices performing the distributor function for associated sparkplugs have lateral extension flanges approaching closely to the insulating envelopes of the devices. A grounded control electrode just outside the gas-discharge device is moved from a rest position to an operating position aligned with and adjacent to the cathode extension flange by an electromagnet operated by a transistor circuit in accordance with the cylinder firing order of the engine.
