I haven't looked in the box below mine but quoting this:
" This sort of coil is often called a Ruhmkorff coil, after the Parisan apparatus manufacturer Heinrich
Daniel Ruhmkorff (1803-1877). Although he did not invent the induction coil, his name is often associated with it
(particularly in Europe) because he successfully put together all of the elements of the coil, including the use of the
condenser connected across the primary to moderate the back EMF of the collapsing magnetic field of the secondary."
I tried adding 0.2 uF and it definitely does reduce points sparking and improves the output arcs.
