Fascinating, Now maybe you can explain why my race car with an alternator
in the ignition circuit, and a battery hooked to ground with a cut-off
switch, would happily continue to run when I switched off the battery. Tracy
has
just rewired it so that the cut-off switch now has four terminals, two for
the ground cable to the battery, and two that connect the alternator into the
ignition circuit.
