The generator providing 110 bit is interesting
That's for sure! I wasn't aware that a generator could produce AC current, much less a constant voltage and hertz as the rotational speed varies. Love to hear more details about that.
Good points and I'd sure like to learn more too. I wonder if the generator was DC. They had the early Dynamotor setups to provide high voltage DC to the radios -- but that was low current. For an Air unit it would really need to up the current and size. Even if they had a regulator of some kind, you still have the problem just like the regular car generator of low output at low speed. Curiouser and curiouser.
