The name "Delco" came from the "Dayton Engineering Laboratories Co.", founded in Dayton, Ohio, by Charles Kettering and Edward A. Deeds in 1909. Delco was responsible for several innovations in automobile electric systems, including the first reliable battery ignition system and the first practical automobile self-starter.

That and the synchromesh gearbox are the two most revolutionary things developed for conventional motorcars.

Ok, automatic gearboxes are revolutionary as well, but they're not as common as cars with manual gears and a clutch.

Manuals sure are a hell of a lot less :cash: to maintain and repair. I almost bought a 5-speed Subaru a few months ago.
