Reliability of operation is a matter of record. It has been used as standard equipment on quality cars since 1912.
The more recent adoption of the Bijur System for the heavy duty service in starting Liberty Engines for aeronautics is an indication of the substantial and liberal features of the Bijur design.
The entire ten floors of the Bijur plant are devoted to one effort—the design and production of reliable starting and lighting systems for service wherever gasoline
engines are used.
