To take down the top, the windshield fasteners are re-leased and by a light pressure of the hand on the forwardbow, the entire top is pushed back into the boot and thehanger fingers snapped over the bow sockets. The topcan be put up almost instantly, and taking it down requiresless than fifteen Bcw? sockets sho<*?r\ in,intermediate BcM sockets in do^n. position. 602 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIESTHE AUTOMOBILE March 17, 1921 Refinements in a Battery Ignition System Novel features claimed include a straight line contact with one floatingpoint which prevents pitting. Duplex system differs from other systemsin that either high frequency spark or single spark can be used as desired. By J. Edward Schipper THE Philbrin battery ignition system, which hasbeen on the market for a number of years, hasbeen refined in several details and brought up-to-date. The system was exhibited at both the New Yorkand Chicago shows and is being offered for all lines ofautomotive work. It is an open circuit system incorporating some fea-tures which are claimed to be unique. These include astraight line instead of a swinging contact movement ofthe interrupter movable part, said to insure uniformcontact over the entire surface, and a floating contactshaft in the adjusting
