Owen Dyneto will be along shortly to chine in, I'm sure. He has a '34 1100 with dual coils. They alternate in firing, there are two sets of points. The dwell is longer which gives a nice fat spark. The car almost always starts on less than one revolution of the engine, even after sitting all winter.

The pre '35 cars are full of elegant technical features like this, they became a casualty of cost cutting
