Joe Lucas  or, more accurately, the company bearing his name  engineered
electrical bits for pretty much everything emanating from the UK, and the
notorious unreliability of Lucas components played a key role in tanking the
British car industry in the early 1980s. Make the jump for "If Lucas made
guns, wars would not start," and other classics.

  a.. The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."
  b.. Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit.
  c.. Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
  d.. Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
  e.. The three position Lucas switch - Dim, Flicker and Off.
  f.. The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics.
  g.. Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices
