I've never opened one up that wasn't copper wire. I have no doubt that they all use copper wire of varying gauge, turns, length to achieve the desired properties. A surprise to many is that the use of an external resistor actually has a stabilizing effect on coil current, helping to keep it more constant as it's copper wire resistance increases with temperature, than no resistor and copper windings only. This very likely has a lot more to do with the industries use of resistor plus coil than the idea that they just added the resistor in order to be able to use same old 6v coils on 12v systems. It also made it nice to be able to bypass the resistor during cranking when starter drags battery voltage from 12 down to perhaps 8 or 9 volt range or from 6 to maybe 4.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor: Conclusion - by Anthony West. In the last piece I mentioned that Nuffield had reached the stage where they had chosen to drop the "Universal" from production. The two new models were given three figure numbers, instead of "three" and "four". Model numbers were introduced to help farmers and dealers instantly recognize the engine size and horsepower of the tractor, the 4/60 had a four cylinder diesel engine which developed 60 bhp at 2,000 rpm. The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
