"Bosch Arc Light Magneto for Small 4 Cylinder Automobile Motors," circa 1919
01
Artifact Overview
Magnetos served as simple, reliable ignition systems for internal combustion engines in early automobiles, motorcycles, and airplanes. Modern ignition magnetos are still found in lawn mowers and chainsaws, and aircraft use magnetos as an independent electrical system. Auto manufacturers, however, found other methods to keep engines turning.
