[Land-speed] Non-LSR Air Starter

[Jim Auguston]

Slim,

The air start on trucks was done to reduce weight. They had one car size 12v
battery for lighting instead of the 24v 4-6v battery system, a small
alternator and the air starter was light. Consolidated Freight Lines had
hundreds of tractors with that system. If the air was low they could jump
start them with the trailer air hose from another tractor.
