WAR SHOWED
MAGNETIC BEST
Pershing Ordered Such Ig-
milton Solely Used for
His Staff Cars.

General Pershing's and other Ameri-
can cars used by staff officers in
France were driven wide open" much
OF the time. and over shell-torn
roads. A shell-torn road more than
rough: it has many hundreds of holes
to the mile. eacr large enough to
break springs and axles OF the heav-
lest construction.
The speed of these cars was such
that updn approaching a village a
siren was used to announce their COM
ing. 1t was similar to those used on
ambulances and fire engines here. The
Inhabitants would rush heller -skelter
to clear the streets, well knowing
there would be no slowing down. In
going through the narrow streets of
French villages on more than one oc-
casion the glass in the windshield
was broken. due. it is said, to the
high speed and the air-pressure be-
tween the buildings. These cars were
under terrific. constant strain, and
were therefore magneto-e equipped,
that being the only ignition consider
ed capable of standing the vibration
and dependable enough for the serv-
ice
The fun story of the rough handling
and treatment of the cars may never
be told. No such tests of the reliability
OF magnetic ignition could be possible
in peace times. Thousands of lives
depended largely upon the magnetic,
for the enemy had all the railway
advantages prepared by years of craft
tily placed work, and the allies forces
wer almost wholly dependent upon
motor cars.
Hundreds Of thousands Of soldiers
were moved by motor transport from
place to place. for there was often no
time for marching. So was their en-
tire food supply; and their fighting
materials. Large numbers Of wound
ed had to be carried over rough roads,
congested by cumbersome tanks.
"whippets" or smaller tanks, and
tractors dragging huge guns. Dis-
patch riders could get through tight
places, but all other gave priority to
the stan cars racing as fast as they
could CO.
The magnetic surpassed all previous
records for reliability and efficiency.
Consequently, although Class B
trucks. the standard of the United
States Government. were originally
equipped with a double ignition sys-
tem-a magnetic and a timer -distribu-
tor-battery system the battery sys-
TEN was discontinued upon orders
from General Pershing, and the mag
neto was depended upon solely.
