- 02:5702:57, 24 December 2018 diff hist −232 m Onsemi Undid revision 874961185 by 72.87.67.21 (talk) Last edit was obviously malicious so removed it. Tag: Undo
22 August 2016
- 20:1620:16, 22 August 2016 diff hist −35 Capacitor discharge ignition Technical error during last edit that erroneously stated that CD provided higher voltage to spark plugs. This is not necessarily so and is entirely dependent on the design.
5 October 2015
- 22:2722:27, 5 October 2015 diff hist −62 m Capacitor discharge ignition Removed erroneous statement declaring that Bosch CD ignition was based on Winterburn design. It was not. The charging circuit and trigger circuit are completely different. Refer to schematics available on Pelican Parts website by Warren Hall
18 December 2014
- 02:4102:41, 18 December 2014 diff hist −7 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: minor grammatical change. Removed slang word 'thusly'
17 December 2014
- 20:5120:51, 17 December 2014 diff hist +1 Capacitor discharge ignition punctuation of latest major edit of Huff ignition
- 20:4920:49, 17 December 2014 diff hist +3 m Capacitor discharge ignition Added US to Huff patent number.
- 20:4720:47, 17 December 2014 diff hist +3 m Capacitor discharge ignition punctuation
- 20:4220:42, 17 December 2014 diff hist +629 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Holley Huff Magneto added as an important historical link. References include US patent# 882003, 'The Horseless Age' July 11, 1906, The 'Motorway' Jan 11 1906 vol. XIV,No.2
17 November 2014
- 00:5600:56, 17 November 2014 diff hist +296 Ignition system Major edit complete, Purpose of condenser explained. Oscillation does not increase spark duration. Many texts and experiments to back this up.
- 00:4100:41, 17 November 2014 diff hist +181 Ignition system Once again, part of major edit as below.
- 00:3600:36, 17 November 2014 diff hist +528 Ignition system Part of major edit with respect to purpose of condenser. Publishing now before page times out and information lost.
- 00:1900:19, 17 November 2014 diff hist +407 Ignition system Revised theory on how coil works. Does not work like an AC transformer! Every textbook on the planet will have this right. Very sloppy authoring by someone.
16 November 2014
- 23:5723:57, 16 November 2014 diff hist +77 m Ignition system improved wording on purpose of condenser.
- 23:5023:50, 16 November 2014 diff hist −185 Ignition system Removed reference to condenser extending spark duration. This is a common myth. Almost all proper textbooks and experiments show this to be untrue.
- 22:0722:07, 16 November 2014 diff hist 0 m Ignition system Corrected year of 1st manufacture for Delta Mark 10 to 1964 as this was when the Mark 10 'Thunderbolt' came on the market. This correction is based on magazine advertising of the period
20 March 2013
- 21:0421:04, 20 March 2013 diff hist +5 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Changed word 'from' to 'of' to improve English, and added reference to CD ignition ability to fire wet plugs as well as fouled plugs.
16 March 2013
- 04:0904:09, 16 March 2013 diff hist +5 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Changed energy to spark power, since that is more appropriate and accurate
- 04:0604:06, 16 March 2013 diff hist +176 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Major edit. A good portion of the spark energy is wasted as heat due to the high inductance coil. Therefore to say 75mJ is misleading based on recent studies despite convention stating spark power is related to energy storage in the cap.
18 January 2013
- 19:3519:35, 18 January 2013 diff hist +4 m Ignition system →Electronic ignition: changed word 'and' for 'which' to clean up language with respect to Delta CD.
- 19:3319:33, 18 January 2013 diff hist +307 Ignition system →Electronic ignition: Major edit in that Hyland Electronics CD ignition included. Also added reference to Delta CD ignition
- 19:2119:21, 18 January 2013 diff hist +1 m Ignition system →Electronic ignition: added space after 'capacitive discharge'
- 19:2019:20, 18 January 2013 diff hist +32 Ignition system →Electronic ignition: added 'thyratron capacitive discharge' to describe Tung-Sol EI-4 to distinguish it from transistor switch type electronic ignition.
17 January 2013
- 02:0002:00, 17 January 2013 diff hist +342 Capacitor discharge ignition →The basic principle: Major edit of operation of circuit. More to come, as this still requires revision
- 01:3801:38, 17 January 2013 diff hist 0 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: removed dash between words fire and fouled.
13 January 2013
- 22:4822:48, 13 January 2013 diff hist −11 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Removed word 'triggered' after thyratron again, since the thyratron is not the trigger. On early CD ignitions the breaker points were the trigger. The thyratron was triggered by the points.
- 18:5318:53, 13 January 2013 diff hist +29 Capacitor discharge ignition Amended mistake made in previous edit with regard to thyratrons.
- 18:5118:51, 13 January 2013 diff hist −12 Capacitor discharge ignition Changed 'thyratron triggered CD ignition' to 'thyratron CD ignition' since the thyratron was NOT the trigger, the breaker points were.
- 18:4718:47, 13 January 2013 diff hist +118 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: cleaned up language with respect to failings of the thyratron.
- 18:3618:36, 13 January 2013 diff hist −5 Capacitor discharge ignition SCR was written twice in same sentence and was redundant, so removed the repeat.
29 December 2012
- 01:1601:16, 29 December 2012 diff hist −3 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Added history of Bosch CD ignition on NSU Spider, Also cleaned up language with respect to invention of SCR
- 01:0701:07, 29 December 2012 diff hist +860 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Added history of Bosch pioneering CD ignition on fighter aircraft ref:'Solid-State Ignition Systems' by R.F. Graf and G.J. Whalen Published 1974

- 02:1302:13, 19 November 2009 diff hist +4 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Grammatical change to say The history of (the) capacitor discharge ignition, instead of "the history of capacitor discharge ignition"
- 02:0502:05, 19 November 2009 diff hist +6 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: minor grammatical correction changed 'propose such ignition system' to 'propose such an ignition system' Also changed A to Amps which is an accepted short form of Amperes in English

- 15:3715:37, 13 August 2009 diff hist +1 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: added a space after patent#
- 15:3415:34, 13 August 2009 diff hist +33 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: added patent number for Winterburn circuit
10 August 2009
- 01:2001:20, 10 August 2009 diff hist +549 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Fairly major update to history crediting Tesla as the originator of the CD ignition. Revised as far back as 1930's to read 1890's
5 August 2009
- 02:5602:56, 5 August 2009 diff hist +1 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: changed word 'issue' to 'problem'
- 02:3502:35, 5 August 2009 diff hist 0 m Capacitor discharge ignition →History: capitalized word 'european'
- 02:3302:33, 5 August 2009 diff hist +85 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: added'when Hyland attempted to expand its production through a company in New York(also court docurments to corroborate)
- 02:2302:23, 5 August 2009 diff hist +1 Capacitor discharge ignition changed late 1962 to April 1962. Found document (affadivits) to support.
3 August 2009
- 19:4019:40, 3 August 2009 diff hist −1 Capacitor discharge ignition →History: Trying to remove space in text.
- 19:3419:34, 3 August 2009 diff hist +480 User talk:Fastily →RCAF photo, Spring 1964 001.jpgThe: new section
- 19:2919:29, 3 August 2009 diff hist +64 Capacitor discharge ignition Trying to place the picture in one more time before calling for help
