Strictly speaking, thereexists no definite boundary line between these two types, asthe power generated by any magneto must necessarily be low-tension. The classification therefore is merely a convention-al one. A low-tension magneto signifies a unit equipped witha separate transformer, while in a high-tension magneto thearmature itself serves as the transformer, the primary ofwhich is the armature winding. At the present time we have two types of armatureswhich are used in all recent makes of ignition magnetos ,namely, shuttle and inductor types. It is, however, hard todetermine which is the better type, as the advantages of oneare offset by those of the other and the working principlesof these two types are identical. Th
