Thanks Bob.
I'm repeating your quote here so it won't be missed:

"I too think that the switch from 6 volt electrical systems to 12 volt systems was for economic reasons. With a 12 volt system all the wiring can be accomplished with much smaller... ".


Bob, i'm guessing you probably already know why a few of the the ca. WWII EC manufacturers used the 12v batteries instead of the 6v for more ECONOMIC reasons than just saving wire.

Here, we'll give the young guys on here a hint: Cosmoline.
