Subject: Smoke
As you know POSITIVE earth (ground) depends upon proper circuit funtioning, with the transmission of NEGATIVE ions by retention of a visible spectral manifestation known as "SMOKE".
Clearly, smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work! We know this to be true, because every time one allows the smoke out of an electrical system, it stops working. This can be verified repetedly through empirical testing.
For example, whenever the SMOKE escapes from a electrical component (like, say one of our LUCAS voltage reggulators), it will be observed almost immediately that the component stop working. The function of the wire harness is to carry the smoke from one device to another, but when the wire harness springs a leak, thereby letting the smoke out of the system, nothing works thereafter. This explains why, for years, British Motorcycles did not employ starters. Starter motors were frowned upon largely because they require very large wires, thereby consume large quantities of SMOKE.
LUCAS components appear to be more prone to this electrical leakage than other makes, such as BOSCH, or even generic Japanese electrics. We have investigated this, and our consultants advise us that this is not surprising, nor out of character. LUCAS is British, and all things British leak! British engines leak oil. British dampers, hydraulic forks, and disc brakes leak their fluids. British tyres leak air, and the British Defense Department leaks secrets, so...quite naturally, British electronics will leak thereby consume large quantities of SMOKE.
SMOKE. From this basic concept of electrical transmission of energy (in the form of SMOKE) a better understanding of the mysteries of electrical components specially our own LUCAS components) can be gained by the casual user.
