When you come out on a cool

the research men of the Ford En-
ginccring Laboratory. who found a
way to prevent moisture from form
ing in the distributor. Mr.. Wharton
of B. V. Wharton. local Ford deal
er. pointed out today.
When moisture forms in the dis
trihutor, it causes hard starting.
Ford engineers designed dead-air
chamber between the terminal
housing and cap, that stops mois-
ture formation. In principle. it
works in the same way as the vac
uum bottle you take on picnic.
The cold air outside can't cool down
the air inside and thus il can't
cause moisture to form
The ignition system in the ncW

uther ways, too. Mr Wharton .dd

cold weather and is oil resistant
This idea came out of the use by
high-aItitude airplanes of syn

plastic sleeves tightly seal the ig
milton wires.
And the problem of ignition wire
insulation breaking down under th'
