The design is substantial, the quality of material is the best, the workmanship is accurate, and the system of testing is elaborate and thorough. These precautions combine to make a motor that will keep running satisfactorily year after [...]

The key to future internal combustion engines is an electric motor.

Offering everything from silent starts to high-torque speed boosts with ultra-low emissions, the powerful integrated starter-generator’s capabilities appear to be a technician’s dream.

But it also might be a supplier’s nightmare. Engines could shed a host of time-tested components, from the gear-toothed flywheel and starter motor [...]
