Regarding word origination or where we Americans coined it this is sorta OT, but...

Accelerator, gas pedal ( gaspedal for Manfred) foot feed, all lend them selves to getting more revs (British, tours for the french) all the desire to increase the Po of the engine.

Please pardon just had to get my $0.02 (don't know what that is in euro, bit coin, francs, deutchmarks or pounds sterling) in.

A happy Easter to all,

Gary...wa6fgi

Carl,

It has been called a condensor ever since the distributor was
invented. Called that by people from all walks of life and education,
  DIY parts houses.
And in fact that's probably the correct word! Early electronics books
too called it condenser or condensor, and the word relates directly to
the Spanish "condensador" and the German "Kondensator", among others.
The modern English word "capacitor", although so familiar to us, seems
to be a construction. Just like "inductor" instead of "coil", and
"voltage" instead of "tension" or "potential". Some people even say
"amperage" instead of "current", "wattage" instead of "power", and so
on! Ugh!

The distributor was invented by Charles Kettering at Delco and first used in
the 1910 Cadillac.

Amplifier use is not limited to the USA and 1500W is far from a world
standard.

Actually Kettering invented the ignition circuit which includes coil,
breaker points(and condenser of course) and the distributor. And the
year was 1907
