Most customers would be very pissed if they couldn't listen to their radio.
Points made a lot of interference and had the condenser on the coil to help alleviate it. (same with heater fan and alternator sometimes)
They probably had RF that would show in the radio reception under certain conditions. So the coil windings may have been reversed to counteract the RF being picked up. (cheaper than a lot of shielding on distributor or coil?)
