PREFACE
Tins volume has been preparedto satisfy the demand for a systematic
course of study dealing with the ignition systems used on automobiles,
trucks, tractors, and airplanes. In preparing the text the authors have
had in mind the needs of the men who have to install, adjust, and repair
ignition systems in the factory and repair shop, as well as the needs of
the automobile ownerwho desiresa betterunderstanding ofthe principles
and construction of the modern ignition system. A few systems have
been included which are no longer manufactured but many of which are
still to be found in operation.

tive criticismofProfessorBenG.Elliott;thehelpof Mr.Lawrence E.Blair
