Condenser: "To condense", from my Apple's desktop dictionary: "make (something) denser or more concentrated". ---------------- The capacitor absorbs the energy of the coil's discharge that otherwise would have risen up at a rate and amplitude (as the points were opening) sufficient to cause arcing of the points and destructive pitting, thus condensing it and releasing it at a slower rate and lower amplitude; thus preventing the arc and preserving the points for a longer service life. ---------------- Probably back when points were first used in such circuits the designers figured that the general public didn't know what a capacitor was (and didn't care) but knew what condense meant...aka Borden's Condensed milk for one, so they named if for what it does, (adjective) not what it is (noun)............sorry for the diversion here but I can't believe that back in parochial school, first few grades, I actually learned something about the English Language.....amazing......and it took me 76 years to figure that out....working crossword puzzles to keep your mind active does that.
