Anyone ever seen one a generator with a square cut out- everythign I seen is round. I'll get a pic of it later this evening

I've seen them on Pierces and Lincolns, among others that I cannot remember right now. The ones I remember were Autolites. Ford's were round, both on A's and V8s.

Packards are sorta square. DELCO's are rectangles. I'm using a DELCO on my 39.

Echlin CU1 is for A's and not available, CU2 & 3 are rectangular in the NAPA catalog and are for other cars.

I have one on my smiths compressor ---it has enough mounting holes and slots to mount on anything, it came out of some WWII surplus ,--I used it because it was new, and free.

The generator/starter guy I use keeps them in stock.They are kind of a universal thing,rectangular with a bunch of mounting holes.A lot of old tractors use them.I have a couple that were sold by Western Auto.They are pretty substantial,big copper coil.

Hi. I have seen them, and I think were originally for 12 volt systems.
