Hmm, I don't understand what the point would be of an internal resistor. The last thing that oil filled coil needs is an internal resistor generating more heat ??. The coil is an induction coil,not a transformer, so the number of turns in the primary winding (6V vs 12V) in relation to the secondary winding should have little effect. An induction coil builds a magnetic field using dc power which when turned off collapses the magnetic field and generates a voltage spike of about 20-30,000 volts in the secondary winding and several hundred volts in the primary winding which is absorbed by the condenser to prevent arcing and burning of the points.
Maybe one of the others (B&D or Bob?) can add their knowledge of battery ignition systems to settle this.

Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
