Okay Noel,
Let me ask this another way. Lets take a vehicle that was manufactured in
the United Kingdom, say a farm tractor, fitted to be operated on the public
roads for example, a Field Marshall we will say. Lets say it was made with
lights and a unit to power these lights up ran from a belt from the
flywheel. What IS that item that makes these lightbulbs burn? There is, nor
was there ever a battery or a starter motor.
Sonny
