I'm sure there was most likely some isolated examples of 12v systems world wide prior to '55. But to make the statement that The US was slow in converting to 12v sounds like something out of HotRod Magazine. I mean hell, we could include military issue that was 12 and 24 volt WWII production as well as 6v.

6v was most widely used world wide prior to 55.
