G'day Paul and speedy
Paul's concise summary of the two Boundy magneto
systems is the best I have seen. Thank you.

John Boundy presents as an unconventional thinker.
The move from a top-side points and condenser system
to a crankcase-mounted design meant something significant ...

A low silhouette engine!
[low silhouettes have styling advantages]

Didn't Briggs do this in the 1960s with their 'Quiet Engine'?
Didn't Victa do this a couple of decades' later with the power torque?
[Yes, I know they moved a conventional flywheel magneto below the crankcase].

Nonetheless, I think John Boundy's early solution was pretty clever.

Cheers
