Design details that make it possible for 12-v system to supply more performance for passenger car electrical requirements; better ignition performance, higher generator output, and faster cranking speed would result with same distributor, and same size coil, generator and starting motor; battery size would increase 5% and energy storage capacity 30%. (p 56-8, 96, 103-4, 106, 108, 112) (See also abstract in Engrs' Digest v 14 n 1 Jan 1953 p 24-6)
