Identify the components in the reciprocating engine ignition system.

Identification could include 

• magnetos—produce energy for a spark 
• spark plugs—deliver a spark to the cylinder 
• interconnecting wires—deliver a spark from magneto to the spark plug 
• ignition switch—allows magnetos to deliver a spark.
