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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
