RE: IML: 56 Imperial Update

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Mike, but I've already send Tim a tome on the subject.   We'll see
if it helps - maybe I can re-edit what I wrote before to make it easier to
follow.  I do see a problem in the stuff I wrote about polarizing a
generator.   That must have been in response to someone with a problem on a
positive ground car (1955 or older, I believe).   My statement to touch the
armature connection to the battery hot terminal WAS correct, but it should
not have included the parenthetic "negative terminal", because the hot
terminal is of course the positive terminal on all post 1955 cars that I am
aware of.  The important word is HOT terminal, the mention of whether this
is positive or negative should be deleted to avoid confusion.

Tim:

Dick has provided the IML with a gold mine of those "words" over the years, 
most of which have been captured for the club website's "Repair" section. 
Please take a look at what he's written in the past about generator 
polarizing, etc.:
