To induce a high tension voltage reaction out of the coil, a person needs a breaker to reverse the magnetic field in the core. An electronic ignition system requires an electronic breaker that fires the coil induction reaction. If it has a high rate breaker or an electronic vibrator for pulsating direct current then it can fire multiple sparks during the ignition process for each cylinder. I suppose it can work either way as long as the spark is hot enough to light off the fuel air mixture charge. It's not that different from a regular electronic ignition except that it has been adapted to the model T type 4 coil system. In that respect, it's a lot like the modern one coil per cylinder designs only it would still use a timer to fire them all at the right time.
