Magneto Inductor

—The rotor, or revolving part on a stationary armature magneto. It consists of cylindrical segments of soft iron supported and carried by a shaft located at the center of the circle described by the segments. The magnetic condition of the armature core depends upon the position of the inductor. The latter may be constructed: (1) To revolve continuously, or, (2) to rotate to and fro through a small are by link connection, as is done in one of the numerous ignition systems for internal combustion engines.
