YEs, for some odd reason motor car manufacturers refered to said

Although the workshop manual for the Austin A60 (the nearest one to hand

identified as such on the exploded diagram of the ignition distributor).

crappy book using antiquated terminology. (When was the last time
you heard someone refer to a capacitor as a condenser?)
When I looked in the workshop manual for my car? ;-)
