I picked the engine in the photo up at the Bakersfield Horseless Carriage swap meet a number of years ago mostly for the Dixie Mag unit. Since then I have come by another two of these Dixie units in my travels along with the original manual that I am sharing here.



Here's the original manual for the setup.

Exceptional detail of an accessory most of us have never seen.
Thanks again Jay.

Rich

Thanks Jay. I didn't know they had an impulse mag too. A nice accessory.

Jay: Have you got the book on a Splitdorf cross drive by some chance? Thanks Dan.

Edison bought Splitdorf in late 20 what would be interesting to me is if the drive has a Ford logo if made after Edison bought Splitdorf

Dan, I only have this booklet on Splitdorf magneto drives...so far. :-)

BTW: To to let the lurkers know, it took a good two hours to do what it takes to post this thread.

Thanks for your effort Jay, it's great to see rare stuff - and with the original literature - it's priceless :-)

I was also surprised to see they had an impulse coupling that early.

A friend in Colorado has the same setup. The magneto has Edison on it. A fifteen Metz I had was the same magneto as I remember fifty five years past. Thanks Jay!
