The Motor Generator
The motor generator, operating as a motor, receives its energy from the storage battery and transmits it
through the motor clutch to the flywheel for cranking the engine.
The motor generator, operating as a generator, receives its energy from the engine through an extension of the
pump shaft, and delivers electrical energy for the charging of the storage battery, and for operating the lights, horn
and ignition.
The Motor Clutch
The motor clutch and gears, which operate between the flywheel and the armature pinion, are for the purpose
of getting a suitable gear reduction between the armature and the flywheel and permit the gear in mesh with the
flywheel to overrun the armature when the engine starts, and prevent the armature from being driven at an
excessively high speed during the short time the gears are in mesh after the engine is running on its own power.
The Generator Clutch
The generator over-running clutch is for the purpose of allowing the armature to revolve at a higher speed
than that of the pump shaft during the cranking operation; at the same time permitting the armature to be driven
by the pump shaft when the engine is running on its own power.
Lubrication
There are oil holes in the front and rear end housing. (See Pages 54 and 55.) These convey oil to the ball
bearings at each end of the armature shaft, and should receive four or five drops of engine oil every 300 miles.
