Prewar systems were complicated with several solenoids, switches and relays to contend with. Postwar was much simpler but still one had to understand the operation to adjust it properly.
I completely forgot about that. The essential differences were covered in a 1946 issue of the service newsletter,
SC Vol. 22, No. 12 (p. 46). Later, an updated
Serviceman's Training Booklet on
Clutch and Electromatic Clutch was published.
While electricals were streamlined a bit from 41 to 42, the postwar version appears to be greatly simplified. This second generation system is clearly easier to adjust with a control valve mounted, remotely, up high on the engine, but the internals looks a bit more complicated - perhaps more sensitive to wear and adjustment.
