2. Delco ignition system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delco_ignition_system

   The Delco ignition system, also known as the Kettering ignition system, points and condenser ignition or breaker point ignition, is a type of inductive discharge ignition system invented by Charles F. Kettering. It was first sold commercially on the 1912 Cadillac [1] and was manufactured by Delco.

3. Contact breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_breaker

   The contact breaker is operated by an engine-driven cam.On an engine with a distributor, the contact breaker can be found beneath the distributor cap.The position of the contact breaker is set so that it opens (and hence generates a spark) at exactly the optimum moment to ignite the fuel/air mixture.

   The name "Delco" came from the "Dayton Engineering Laboratories Co.", founded in Dayton, Ohio, by Charles Kettering and Edward A. Deeds in 1909. [1] Delco was responsible for several innovations in automobile electric systems, including the first reliable battery ignition system and the first practical automobile self-starter.

5. Inductive discharge ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_discharge_ignition

   The inductive-discharge ignition system operates according to the rules of electromagnetism described by Faraday's Law of Induction which states that the induction of electromotive force (emf) in any closed circuit is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit.

6. Ignition system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_system

   A variation coil-on-plug ignition has each coil handle two plugs, on cylinders which are 360 degrees out of phase (and therefore reach top dead center (TDC) at the same time); in the four-cycle engine this means that one plug will be sparking during the end of the exhaust stroke while the other fires at the usual time, a so-called "wasted spark ...

7. Chevrolet Series M Copper-Cooled - Wikipedia

   Kettering found an overhead valve (OHV) set-up to be the most viable engine design. Kettering's OHV engine was an advanced design for the time period. [3] The design was four-cylindered and called for a straight engine configuration. This type of engine allowed for better cooling on the top end of the engine, as well as between cylinders.
