The other end of the primary goes to a primary binding post and the other end of the secondary to the secondary binding post of the coil as shown in Fig. 137. An Fig. 139.--Wiring diagram for four-cylinder engine. external view of a three-terminal coil for a single-cylinder engine is shown in Fig. 138. In Fig. 139 a four-unit coil with the wiring for a four-cylinder engine is shown. The three terminals are lettered: S, the secondary terminal leading to the plug; P, the primary terminal to the timer; and B, the terminal connected to the batteries. The secondary circuit is from the secondary terminal to the plug, across the gap into the engine frame, back through the timer to the coil. The primary circuit is from the batteries, one side of which is grounded, through the coil, to the timer, where the circuit is grounded and the current returns to the batteries through the metal of the engine. Where a multiple cylinder engine is used, it is customary to use a coil for each cylinder. The coils are usually enclosed in an upright box as shown in Fig. 140, which is a coil set for a four-cylinder engine. In Fig. 141 is shown the arrangement of the ignition system for a four-cylinder engine using dry batteries as the source of current. There are two sets of batteries, one service set and a reserve set. The six cells are connected in series, giving a voltage of about 9. The four coils are placed in one box, with two small terminals at the bottom. Either of these terminals is a primary terminal for any one of the four coils and is connected to the two sets of batteries. The switch on the front of the box determines which set of batteries will be used. The other primary terminals at the top of the coils are connected to the four bin...

Excerpt from The Gasoline AutomobileThe purpose of this book is admirably expressed in the following quotation taken from the Buick instruction book: To derive the greatest amount of satisfaction and pleasure from the use of his car the driver should have a complete understanding of the mechanical principles under lying its Operation. Merely knowing which pedal to press or which lever to pull is not enough. The really competent driver should understand What happens in the various parts of the car's mechanism when he presses the pedal or pulls the lever. He should know the cause as well as the result.When we consider the complexity of modern automobiles from a mechanical standpoint, with the duties that are required of them, to gether with the fact that the great majority of'them are operated by men with little or no experience in the handling of machinery, the automobile stands as one of the most remarkable machines that the ingenuity of man has ever produced. The Operating expense of the automobile has already assumed a large place in the budget of the American people. Although it is so built that the owner may secure good service from his automobile with very little knowledge of its construction, still it is evident that an intimate acquaintance with its details Should enable him to secure better service at less expense and at the same time to prolong the useful life of the car.It is with the hope of increasing the pleasure of automobile owner ship and reducing the trouble and expense of Operation that this book is offered. It is planned primarily for use in the University Extension work in Wisconsin, for the instruction of those who drive, repair, sell, or otherwise have to do with motor cars. It is largely the outgrowth Of a series of lectures on the subject which were given in twenty-three cities of Wisconsin during the past winter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
