From a loose-leaf brochure set issued by the famous electrical and components firm based in Birmingham, Jospeph Lucas, in around 1935. The various leaflets describe the main items of electrical equipment found in cars from batteries to starters and lights and how best to maintain them - with lots of hints on DIY as was common with motor vehicles at the time. Lucas had grown tobe a vital part of the supply chain as the Birmingham and West Midlands automotive industries grew int he first decades of the 2oth Century and they in turn had sprung from the bicycle manufacting companies based here. Lucas had started supplying bike components before diversifying into automobile electrics.
Seveeral of the leaflets have marvellous scraperboard illustrations, sadly anonymous, that are very period! Here a lady driver, suitably attired in gloves, makes to start the motor. The wee cartoon at the top shows the same component giving the car a good shove to get going!

Oldsmobile was established in 1896, but built few cars before 1899, when copper and lumber magnate S.L.Smith bought the company as a lucrative hobby for his two sons.
Originally there were plans for 1 $1250 luxury car with pneumatic clutch and electric starter, but it failed to sell.
Production took off from 1901 with the launch of the immortal Curved Dash Oldsmobile The gasoline-powered Oldsmobile Model R, also known as the Curved Dash Oldsmobile,[ also credited with being the first mass-produced automobile, built on an assembly line using interchangeable parts. over 19,000 were built in all, before production ceased in 1908 following the companies takeover by General Motors.It was a runabout model, could seat two passengers, and sold for US$650. While competitive, due to high volume, and priced below the US$850 two-seat Ford Model C. The flat-mounted, water-cooled, single-cylinder engine, situated at the centre of the car, produced 5 hp. relying on a brass gravity feed carburettor. The transmission was a semiautomatic design with two forward speeds and one reverse. The car weighed 850lbs and had a top speed of 20mph
In 1904, the Model R was replaced by the Model 6C, which had a larger 1,931 cc engine; in addition, drum brakes replaced the band brake. After 2,234 copies, the 6C model was discontinued in December 1904, to be replaced by the updated Model B, ngine received improved cooling and a new flywheel, and the handbrake now worked on the differential instead of the gearbox. The leaf spring suspension was modified so that the reinforced axles were connected to all spring elements. In 1906, the car received celluloid side window curtains. The dashboard was also offered with an upright position, called the Straight Dash,

Ransome Olds left that year to found Reo. By 1905 flat twin and wheel steered variants were available.
Maxwell joined Northern and designed the very similar Northern runabout, before forming Maxwell-Briscoe and in turn Maxwell

Zu sehen ist ein klassischer Starter für einen Pkw. Fachmännisch wird er als Schubschraubtriebstarter bezeichnet. Der Anlasser ist als ein liebevoll bearbeitetes Schnittmodell zu sehen.
Today was incredibly miserable weather wise, but I did manage to get out into the garage for a little bit to try some more diagnostics on my motorbike starter motor.
It's proving to be tricky, and it's the unholy combination of an intermittent fault and an electrical fault. Not nice.
Here's the problem. I hit the start button and it clicks. Or it starts. I hit it again. It clicks, or starts. It's typically turning on about 1 in six attempts and clicking on five out of six.
Now, here's the results. To test the motor you remove it from the bike and apply 12V across it. If it turns, then the motor is ok. This one spins beautifully ten times out of ten. That makes the motor not faulty.
Over to the electrical system then. First test. If it clicks then the 150A switching relay is activating. That means the start switch, kill switch and neutral switch are all working as well.
Some people say I should change the battery. The thing is, if it starts normally AT ALL then the battery must be providing sufficient current.
Time to start looking at the wiring schematics...

Located in the nose section of the engine, this small powerplant was started by pulling the ring, like starting a lawnmower.

The Brush assembly from an aero engine started motor. The Graphite brushes provide a contact, and thus electrical current, to the motor commutator as it rotates.

600 quid to replace starter motor on my lovely Kendo "Mixie" - GULP! Apparently this is a very rare occurrence. I should bloody well hope so too! The starter motor had to go back to Japan but I insisted on taking a few photos first.

TRAVEL OFF ROAD... ...with a 4 wheel drive mitsubishi pajero! the car is in very good condition, we travelled all the east coast and inland to cloncurry and have had no problems. power steering, easy to drive automatic transmission no rust rego valid til October 2010, new safety certificate strong 3 litre engine, petrol fuel consumption: about 11 litres on 100km new startermotor and inhibitorswitch tinted windows complete camping equipment built in bed (double for 2 persons) tent esky (empty lol)
I leave them believing it.
My son took her down to Italy in June 2012. On the motorway in France the startermotor failed to crank the engine. A firm tap with a thin rod on the startermotor relay through the rear grating cured the problem. Entire delay: 5 minutes. Dirty fingers? No!
Actual cause: Primary Lucar plug lost contact. Quality of plug was reduced due to heat and vibration after 10 years.
Lateral black air intake for the engine cooling gives away the original 1600 specification. Previous lady owner was thrifty on maintenance and refused to replace cooling water piping underneath car after she had to have a headgasket replaced.
After a subsequent total failure of the engine 500 miles on, due to leakage which I did not immediately recognize, I replaced engine by a late type 1800 engine plus the cooling water piping. Car went well after that.
