<VV> Monza clock diode install done!

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Back then, a silicon diode probably ran close to $.50 each, and that's back when the whole car was only $2500!

That probably would have added about $00.015 to the cost of each "clock" sold. 
Thank the bean counters for this financial decision I'm sure.

With the clock opened and connected a nice pretty green spark was very visable 
each time the points released to wind the clock.  With the diode shunted across 
the coil windings:  no visable spark.It's a shame that the clock wasn't built 
that way to begin with, it really would have made them last a lot longer.Jim
