Magnetic transmission explained as frictionless car control
An illustrated World article by Walter Lee describes a magnetic transmission for cars as frictionless and noiseless, requiring learning like gear and clutch. The system uses a magnet and an armature with an electric controller to vary field resistance, provides engine start, generates auxiliary power, and acts as a brake when returning to neutral.

Plan of Magnetic Transmission for Automobiles
The article explains a magnetic transmission concept where a rotating engine causes the field to act as a magnet without direct contact with a steel piece. The field drives the armature and driveshaft, producing a direct drive or high. A cylindrical controller with a convenient handle can cut magnetic energy, creating a neutral state between field and armature.
