Reply To: Eismann coils

[kirkp]

Great write up and motor Buc. I need to make sure it gets in my archives for when I finally get around to my motors. I have a KD4 and a WD4S, both from ’47. It’s funny how Merc had the Eisemann coils on early KD4 then switched to Scintilla and pawned the Eisemann off on Wizard. I bought a separate Eisemann setup to convert my KD4.

Now to my questions.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that laminate assemblies shouldn’t be separated because something special was done between the plates to facilitate spark??? Has anyone heard of this? Not sure how much of a difference it makes since Tubs does it quite regularly.

Also, I’ve read suggestions that when narrowing down laminates that it should be done equally on all sides. Not sure why but at this time Buc’s removal all from the bottom seems to be working okay. Thoughts on this

Thanks
