Many car companies determined that the starting process in cold weather (Detroit) was a problem. The starter could draw enough current that the system voltage might drop to 4.5 volts. The coil was only given that amount, causing weak spark. The solution was to use a coil that was designed for 3.5 volts or so giving the starting process a good chance. This starting voltage was delivered to the coil from a connection direct to the starting circuit. this is only supplied when the starter is turning the engine. (several methods are used to do this "bypass" circuit) When cranking results in a start, the bypass voltage is shut off. The ignition circuit through the switch has been on all this time, but it runs through a resistor dropping its voltage to the 4.5 or so volts for the coil. Remember that the running voltage of the system is a bit over 7 volts, charging the battery. This keeps the coil happy, and allows cold starts to be much more successful. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Profile: Ferguson TO-20 - by Staff. When the infamous "Handshake Agreement" between Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson fell by the wayside (that's a story in itself), Harry Ferguson quickly set up manufacturing plants for a United States version of his English TE-20. The TO-20 was relatively the same as the TE-20 except utilized some different casting materials and had a US-style electrical system. The TO-20 was a dead ringer for the Ford 9N and 2N models and they say that Ferguson did this on purpose when the Handshake Agreement wen
