Was reading an ad for a 1940 Deluxe and it stated the car had - a 6 Volt - 12 Volt battery and solenoid switch.

Tried googling it but found nothing.
 
There is a thread here that ends up at a supply house in the oil fields of TEXAS...
The unit hits the back pocket at roughly 500.00 $ PM for a direct link to page.
 
Friend of mine in High School had a simple solution for an F1 pickup. He put a 12v battery in it, then took an ice pick and poked a hole in the center of it and just stuck a wire in the hole. Worked like a champ, 12v for the starter, ignition and lights and 6v for the instrument panel gauges. :D

Back in the days when cells had lead connectors between cells across the top, it was possible to drill and tap to accomplish that. I don't know how you'd know where to do that on a modern battery.
 
Not sure I would want to try, but Hot Rodders in the 60s had some interesting solutions to problems. It is strange that kids then were able to solve problems that baffle adults today.

If you think about it the kids back then that had interesting solutions. :eek:
Are the same kids ( now adults ) that are baffled by the Questions / Problems today !! :confused::confused:
 
Kids aren't afraid to try something new or dangerous, adults know better and can usually afford to do it correctly.

That expensive relay is actually a very interesting problem solving concept design
& a fairly complicated manufactured product. Serves a real purpose in industry...
Just not at a cost most of us would choose to invest in... But have a look at it !
JSerry is a skilled writer of electrical circuits, can explain it's function better then ;<)
