magneto wanted

[Ed_Dinning]

Hi Alan, yes a lot of the very early stuff had a separate magneto; I remember fixing simple cement mixers with a cylinder head "pond" for cooling water that used a magneto. I believe flywheel magneto originally came in with road vehicles where it could be combined with a lighting coil.

Did they really have separate Magnetos?
I've got some ancient Villiers and B&S Engines and they all have the Magneto built in.
I'll ask my contacts.
Do you have a Picture of such a Beast?
