The statement u quoted FROM *** 1953 *** should be interpretted at best as only diplomatically prophetic of the industries 5-year plan to convert widely to 12v. NOTE that the definition of "diplomatic" means two faced.

At worse the statement is true but a gross misrepresentation due to ommissions or further explanation viz-viz the wire size reduction and cost savings to the mfg'er. They would not mention that because it is only advantagous to the manufacturer NOT the customer. The manufacturer does not need the SAE manual to make decisions. The manufacturers WRITE the SAE manual.

Written in 1953 citeing "high compression" engines????

The statement quoted is just a sales pitch to the world.
