A distributor is the device in an internal combustion engine that transfers electricity to the sparkplugs. It is cylindrical and has a trigger that spins and has an electrode that makes contact with the other electrodes on the sides. Each time contact is made the electricity is sent to the corresponding sparkplug.

A third party that distributes your products for you. This way, you can concentrate on producing while the distributor can concentrate on selling. Using distributors usually saves a lot of money for a company because the distributor already has the local/regional infrastructure already in place.
