[AT] grounded coil

[Larry D Goss]

Marshall Brain invented the Howstuffworks website.  Ron referenced a page on 
that website about automotive ignition.  Marshall is a personal friend of 
mine.  He and I have both been recognized by North Carolina State University 
because of contributions we have made that NCSU thinks are significant. 
That's how he got into this.  But both of us still put on our pants one leg 
at a time.  :-)
