That is the spark coil. These were bolt-on conversions offered for people who wanted to change from the factory supplied magneto to a distributor...

With the Dodge brothers tag on it this must have been a standard part of an early Dodge car ... or is there more to the story

My National Service Data book shows 1915-16 had either the Eisemann magneto or the Northeast Model O Distributor. 1917 was only the distributor. Anyone who has ever used an Eisemann knows they were troublesome...

That North East model O type 10004 was standard equipment on Dodge Brothers from '18 to '25. It was preceded by the Model O type 10000 which replaced the Delco unit in late '16 -'17.
