Magnetos for Automobilists, How Made and How Used (Classic Reprint): A Handbook of Practical Instruction in the Manufacture and Adaptation of the Magneto to the Needs of the Motorist - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Master ignition for the motorist with a clear, expert guide to magnetos.
This volume explains how magnetos work, why reliable ignition matters, and how these machines have evolved to keep cars running smoothly—often without frequent battery charging or risk of acid spills.
From the origins of the magneto to practical details on components, timing, and maintenance, the book demonstrates the concepts behind generating a current through the motion of conductors in a magnetic field. It covers key innovations like the primitive medical magneto, Breguet’s igniter, and the Siemens armature, and it explains how shields, commutators, and windings influence performance. Practical guidance is given for amateur use, repairs, and emergency adjustments when expert help isn’t available.
- How magnetos generate ignition current and why timing is critical
- Different designs and parts, including armatures, magnets, commutators, and shields
- Methods for adjusting timing and preserving performance in the field
- Practical notes on maintenance, fault diagnosis, and early electric ignition concepts
Ideal for readers seeking a solid, hands-on understanding of ignition systems and their practical use in early motor vehicles.

Excerpt from Magnetos for Automobilists, How Made and How Used: A Handbook of Practical Instruction in the Manufacture and Adaptation of the Magneto to the Needs of the Motorist
But the favour that the magneto system has found with the motoring public is not surprising, when the many advantages of that system in avoiding the trouble and expense entailed by constantly re-charging accumulators, as well as the attendant danger of spilt acid and burnt-out coils.
