Subj : Battery Trivia To : TOM WALKER From : JEAN PARROT Date : Sun Jun 12 2005 09:44 am Hello Tom, we were saying ! TW> 1866 - French engineer, Georges Leclanche patented the carbon-zinc wet TW> cell battery He also had me going for a spin as I was trying to tuneup a Citro‰n 2 CV. That small car had a twin-opposed motor and being 4 cycle, to save parts and keep the price down, it only had one coil. It fired every revolution, on the two plugs at the same time. Firing at the end of the exhaust cycle did not matter much. Hey, this nice Thinkpad is in full use again. ___ Blue Wave/DOS v2.30 --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) .
