A BTH magneto by Niels Schoen

.

Hello Frank,

It has been a while after my last input, I'm currently busy with the book on the GardenGate Manx.
The book will be a mixture of the IPC, the CMM and technical information (Illustrated Parts Catalogue & Customer Maintanance Manual), that sounds complicaticated but in fact it's more or less a picture album where the reader can see the bike grow step by step, starting with the frame, than the engine and so on, till the complete Norton at the end of the book.
Each step is illustrated with pictures generated from the 3D model, like the pictures you're looking at right now. I'm trying to complete the book asap, which still will be a year from now due to the fact that I also have to earn some money to get around.

Nevertheless, were now looking at the BTH magneto, a forgotten part since it has to do with 'electrics' which is boring for mechanical engineers like me. But what a lovely piece of engineering it is, and most of all it provides us with the spark needed to fire up the engine!
