NEW SYSTEM FOR LIGHTING
Remy Invention Is Combination
of Magnetic and Lights.

II is called the Remy magnetic light and
II is so new TO the market that scarcely
any part Of the great army Of motorists
has even heard of it. Automobile owners
hearing the name magnetic light" imme-
diately ask, What is it," and here Is the
answer
II IL the first combined electric lighting
and dual ignition magnetic ever produced
and perfected and is the product of the
Remy Electric Company. Anderson. Ind
Expert engineers and designers. as we'll as
the few private owners who have seen it,
universally declare that IL will revolu-
tionize lighting and ignition methods used
on motor cars
with this combination magnetic system
the operator Of the car has nothing 10 10
but press a light switch for electric head

Every one who has handled car at
night knows what nuisance oil or
acetylene lamps are Now the nuisance
can he eliminated. The magnetic light pro-
vides high tension current for the dual ig-
milton OF the motor and low tension direct
current for lighting of the motor car or
motor boat. The equipment consists Of the
magnetic, dash coil box. a storage battery
and small distribution or fuse block, with
the proper terminals FOR connecting up the

In the four-part cycle motor there are

the exhaust valve. The first admits the
charge OF gas to the cylinder; the second
permits the discharge of the burned gases
In the modern motor both are mechanically

the proper instant. Both these valves
work under spring tension, and are oper-
ated by cams upon shaft
Since the crank shaft In the four-part
