INTRODUCTION
The first two ignition systems (low- and high-voltage magnetos) coexisted until 1925, when battery ignition and inductive coils became the norm on internal-combustion engines.
What all these systems had in common was a mechanical ignition timing system which, for reasons of longevity, was gradually replaced by so-called "transistorized ignition" and then by "full electronic ignition". This dossier reviews these different ignition techniques.
