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. |

Lord Charles March takes the 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish up the Goodwood Hillcimb (video)
Sat, 06 Apr 2013Lord Charles March – he of the Goodwood Festival of Speed – takes the 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish up the Goodwood hillclimb. The Hillclimb is a 1.16 mile road course, starting at the bottom corner of the Goodwood Estate where you take off on a tree-lined avenue before sweeping right and up past the main house before you enter a steep and narrow estate road, past unforgiving flint walls and woodland, before ending up by Goodwood’s racecourse at the top of the South Downs. It’s a thrilling run in almost any car (yes, we’ve been privileged to do it more than once) and now, with the ‘Moving Motor Show’ part of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, many more are getting the chance to try the hillclimb in car makers’ latest offerings - admittedly not usually at full tilt.
