[AT] adding glow plugs

[James Peck]

This link mentions the company SPICA which I believe was the one receiving government funding. I believe Delphi is the successor organization to SPICA.

The diesel tractor of 1927 mentioned may well have been a Landini.

Until around 2011 the Landini web site talked about money being put into fuel injection research by the former National Socialist regime in Italy during the 1930s. They also did things like swamp draining to create more arable land.

Brian VanDragt AT List Member (bvandragt at comcast.net) ; No, I think that was the farthest thing from their minds when they wrote it.

James AT List Member (jamesgpeck at hotmail.com); This links says glow plugs date to 1929. Are they hinting that they were developed with financial support from the Mussolini administration.
