The transistor ignition system mentioned in EW last week is being developed by Joseph Lucas Ltd.for use high speed engines with high compression ratios. It provides a constant spark voltage at all ...

Since 1914 auto makers have used the Kettering or inductive ignition system: a battery, transformer (coil), a cam-driven mechanical switch (breaker points), a distributor and spark plugs. The system ...

Transistors are inevitable parts of Electronic circuits. The success of a circuit design lies in the selection of proper transistor type and calculation of voltage and current flowing through it. A ...

A COMPLETELY new method of car ignition, using transistors, will be shown by Joseph Lucas (Electrical) at the International Motor Show opening at Geneva tomorrow (Thursday). So, 61 years ago, started ...
