This reciprocating motion of the piston is in turn converted into rotary motion of the crank shaft through connecting rod and crank.
Note that the Figure 4.1 shows the ignition system for 4-cylinder petrol engine, here there are 4-spark plugs and contact breaker cam has 4-corners. (If it is for 6-cylinder engine it will have 6-spark plugs and contact breaker cam will be a perfect hexagon). The ignition system is divided into 2-circuits :
