    From very foggy memory I think it might be where the tacho gets connected. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Cheers,
    Anthony.

    its the Drive for the Tacho.

    essentailly all it does is a single sided rectification off of the AC on one phase of the alternator so that a dc pulse is presented to the tacho that then does white man magic, and converts the pulse rate to needle movement which then indicates crank RPMs.

    or were you asking about how an alternator works in general?
