Jan 7, 2018 · In the summer of 1901, therefore, Robert Bosch gave Gottlob Honold, his head of development, the brief to design a magneto ignition system without break-spark rodding. After just a few months, Honold presented his high-voltage magneto ignition system, based on what was known as electric arc ignition.
Bosch’s head of development, Gottlob Honold, gave his associates a new task: developing a signaling device that could be heard from a distance, and that was easy to use, consumed little energy, and could be produced in large numbers.
