Viola: Coil and Condenser Confusion

As usual, Viola's PPO marched to the beat of his own drummer.  He was either a mad genius or a total nut  Maybe a bit of both?

Took a closer look at the condenser and coil today.  The condenser was unusual in that it only had one green wire coming out of it.  Usually there would be two: one green and one black.

The green wire from the condenser went into a connector that joined the green wire from the coil and the green wire that goes out to the points.  Finally there was a red wire coming out of the coil that ended in a mail bullet.
