Dwell meters are originally intended to measure the amount (actually 
degrees of rotation out of 360 of the distributor shaft) that the 
points in a point-type of ignition are closed. This has kind of gone 
away with electronic ignitions. Many folks still have the meters 
laying around, they can be used to measure the "dwell" of the 
frequency valve as noted. The measurement number in this is not very 
meaningful, just an indication of working or not working.
