[edit] All-electric starting inventor?

This is in conflict with Automobile self starter. According to that article, the electric starter was invented and patented by Clyde J. Coleman. Kettering improved it and made it practical for mass-production at General Motors. --QuicksilverT @ 05:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Citing sources

Interestingly enough we have a conflict between this article and another on the topic of the automobile starter. It would seem that many statements need to be removed from this article if someone cannot find citations for them. Alan.ca 00:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
