    Thank you.
    I think that I now understand it correctly. When the points break, they open the circuit of the primary winding and cause the current being generated to be absorbed by the condenser.

    This coil only has 3 wires, the primary lead to the points, and the two secondaries (plug wires). There is a small copper stub out of the coil body that is clamped in between the laminates. I am assuming that this is the other end of the primary winding that is always grounded.
