As far as I can tell, the advatage of a dual points system is that each set does the job half as much as they do with a single point system....while one is firing, the other is closed...so they last twice as long by doing half the work.
True?

  Smitty says:  Dual points came in two flavors.  One type the second set of points both closed and opened later than the first set.  Reduced current load compaired to all being on one set as well as extending dwell.  The other way was to operate each bank of a V-8 for instance on a different set of points.  That way the lift of the points could be more gentle and prevent float at extreme rpm.
