No offense given or taken.   You still have to go back and read the 
original once more.  All I said was that the thought passed the mind 
and was "rejected".     How can my having just the thought....make 
you think I am fooled by simple elctromagnetic principals?
I would use this following example:   When your generator or alt. 
dies, you run on battery voltage.
As your battery gets lower, it reaches a point where the coil does 
not receive enough input volts and therefore cannot make enough plug 
voltage to handle a hill or acceleration.....but it makes just enough 
coil volts to handle idle and low throttle cruise !
Now I ask you..... is not this an example of how a coil can be 
sensative to input voltage?  
It was this line of thinking which caused me to pause and consider 
the case at hand (engine ran smoother at idle when changed over to an 
alternator).   As I clearly wrote....my thoughts and the electrical 
principals were wrong and rejected.

Don't know who it is that is filing all these mails into different 
subject files.  When anyone touches upon more than one subject, then 
just give that mail more than one file class. Simple. Done every day 
in libraries all over the world.
From 1952-53 I was Chief Technical Librarian for Ford Motor Co.   We 
read all incomming magazine and tech paper material. We assigned a 
job , material, process or miscl subject to each thing we saw in the 
one article.    A daily poop sheet was then circulated to all 
engineering buildings.  Any person who wanted to read a particular 
piece of material simply checked off that item and sent the order to 
the librarian, who then made a copy and forwarded it to the person.  
Most articles DID have multi-subjects and therefore multi- titles.
I expect Ford and other big companies are still doing the same thing. 
 It's likely the only way an engineer could even have a prayer of 
seeing material related to his own work or dept.
We live in an information glut today.  Huge amounts of valuable new 
info. is passing right by the engineers, doctors, lawyers etc. etc. 
and they never even know it happened.

I will be real careful in Egypt. My worry is the water used to wash 
foods, plates, knives forks etc. Also drinking.  Giardella microbe is 
rampant and I seem to always catch it there.  Perhaps I will stick to 
boiled dishes or things heated to high temp.  Liquids out of cans and 
bottles seem OK.  Also no kissing of local females allowed.
