I agree with your explanation, but FWIW the ballast system ends up with
there being *more* voltage to the coil when cranking than when running -
typically 6v running, 10v cranking, but dependant on battery condition and
temperature.
Which country came up with it, let alone the nationality, I don't know.
Somewhere colder than the UK, I reckon. But then as UK cars aren't held to
be as good at cold starting as some in the world-wide scheme of things,
maybe not.
