Not illustrated. 1911 Excerpt: ...and magneto are plainly marked so that the proper connections are quickly and easily made. CHART No. 119. INSTRUCTION No. 24 LIGHTING A CAR: --Electric Lighting. Gas Lighting. Generators. Gas Tanks. ELECTRIC LIGHTING ON CARS. It Is Possible Now, owing to the introduction of high-efficiency electric lamps giving very good illumination from a storage battery current, to adapt electric lighting very successfully to any car, both for interior lighting, in the case of limousines and landlaudets, and side and rear lamps. It Is Well Worth Knowing That Any Oil Lamp Can Be Quickly and Inexpensively Converted to Electric by obtaining an "adaptor" from any of the large accessory dealers. This Is a Small Fitting which clamps on the burner or screws into the oil well and takes the place of the burner (the latter can then bp kept stored away on the car as a reserve.) The Lamps Used are small 6-volt high efficiency metallic filament bulbs, giving (nominally) 8-candle power for side lights, 4-candle power for tail lights and 16 to 24 for headlights and 8 c. p. for dome lights and consuming from.5 to 1 ampere of current. These Lamps Are Appreciably More Delicate than the carbon filament lamp, the filament is more readily broken by shock; but if a point be made of buying a good cluster loop TUNGSTEN lamp, it will be found that there is but very small risk of fracture. There Are Also Special Non-Vibrating Lamp Holders sold, which greatly minimize risk of breakage. Several spare bulbs, however, should always be carried. The Wiring From Storage Battery to lamp should be of good substantial gauge. The Most Satisfactory Kind is low-tension flexible, which ensures the light being efficient; as there will be practically no loss of volts along the wire, there will be no ris...
