[SEL] IHC Famous "Could you...."

[Judge Tommy Turner]

I have a 6 HP Famous that has the flat bar Webster on it.  What year did 
the flat bars come into use?

Webster made the conversion kits available for many engines so that the user could update their engine to the latest and greatest form of ignition (at least in Webster's opinion) and at the same time do away with troublesome batteries.  I'll try to get some pictures of the setup on my engine this weekend.
