OIL-SOAKED WIRE
A short circuit gives more trouble in the electrical system than anything else. This may be caused by a worn or. oil-soaked wire, or defects in the units themselves, but also they are found at the ends of the wires and binding posts. The ends or terminals of the wires arc necessarily bare, and often they are so bent or attached to their binding posts that a small portion comes m contact with the metal of the instrument or engine. A drop of water, due possibly to the condensation of the moisture in the air, will often cause a short circuit, especially in tho secondary or high tension system.
