I think maybe it was sort of a safety precaution, a weak link, so for example
if the distributor seizes, or some such the gear will crumble.
Also they are pretty quiet. Maybe cheaper too, although I think the teeth
are cut rather than molded, so precision machinery was indeed necessary.
The B16 used the same gear. I don't know about earlier models but the
B4 and B14 are a lot like the B16 so maybe they did too.
