' FORD IGNITION SYSTEM DESIGN The ignition system of the. new Ford is unique in mechanical design, extremely simple, and will give the ear owner exceptional performance with a minimum of trouble. The new gene rator is of the power -house type. There is only one coil, in a waterproof case. The distribu tor, located on top of the engine, is easily accessible. Connections are made to the spark plugs by short bronze springs. Thec6incidental lock is placed in the ignition circuit It not only replaces the regular ignition switch, but in the .''off'' position grounds the entire circuit. From tho switch to the distributor a steel cable protects the primary wire. This wire is grounded to the distributor casing, thereby making it impossible for a thief to wire around tho device. :- '- i - i . t -, ,;; . C. E.
