Engine and Generator for Gasoline Motor Car speed. Magneto high-tension ignition is employed. Theengine is started by hand by means of a geared crank, andwhen starting a special cam acting on the exhaust valvesreduces the compression in the cylinders. Pressure lubrica-tion is employed for all of the principal bearings. The generator is a shunt-wound machine with inter-poles and is direct-connected to the engine by a Zodel-typeflexible coupling. Special care has been given to the insula-tion and the windings are of liberal size to insure low tem-peratures. The complete generating set is mounted on abed formed by a channel bent to shape. The motors on the axles are of the standard Westing-house traction type. They drive the axles through single- reduction gears. The controller does not change the motorconnections nor vary the external resistance of the motorcircuit, but instead varies the excitation, and hence thevoltage of the generator, and also controls the speed of theengine.
