Here's some history I found about the mag developed by North-East:
Delco Evolves New Magneto:  High flying British and American planes are maintaining air superiority in world airlanes with the help of a new magneto designed, developed and produced here by Delco Appliance. Before Pearl Harbor, engineers at Delco worked to produce the British magneto for Rolls-Royce aircraft engines; improving and enlarging upon the magnetos they had been manufacturing for Rolls-Royce during peacetime. As it became apparent that planes would fly and fight at altitudes up to 50,000 feet, a new type of magneto was necessary that would function efficiently at the new height. The new North-East Magneto was developed to fulfill the necessary qualifications of lightness, smallness and the possibility of volume production, without the drawbacks that characterized the old magnetos. The task of producing the North-East magneto was accomplished with complete military approval both here and in England long before schedule. The North-East magneto is said to fire each aircraft engine cylinder unerringly at all altitudes up to 50,000 feet, assuring fidelity of engine performance from sea level to stratosphere, all without added weight, complicated mechanism or auxiliary equipment.

A swoopy, four-door coupe it’s yet another of Audi’s attempts at niche-filling, and is aimed straight at rivals such as the CLS from Mercedes. We heard rumours that the A7 would make an appearance at the Detroit Motor Show this month – but it didn’t – and the speculation has now moved on to the Geneva Motor Show in March.

Day two of the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction has ended, and our friends at Hagerty have the numbers for us.
