Subject: Re: M45 dynamo mystery drive
A wild guess, but it looks like it could be an advance/retard system that is attached to the dynamo and should have points and a distributor mounted to it. I believe there is also a magneto on the other side of the engine (I'm not familiar with M45 details...) so the car could run without this working. There is a photo in this ad that seems to show this device.
