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. |

Fri, 29 Jan 2010We have spy video of the new The Audi A7 (below) The Audi A7 seems to have been coming for a long time now. 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.
