It's a simple hall effects switch. It has a magnet and sensor. As the sensor spins on a shaft, it passes close to the magnet or the other way around. the close pass sends a signal that is used to tell the distributor when to fire a plug wire. It's called a pickup coil because it "picks up" the signal.
