Circa 1908 Deeds, asked for help with a car he was building himself from a kit. Working in one of Deeds barns with spare-time help from William A. Chryst and other NCR friends, Kettering developed a high-energy spark ignition system to replace the weak-spark model supplied with the kit. Leaving NCR in 1909, Kettering focused on final development of this ignition set and demonstrations were favorably received. In 1909 when Henry Leland of the Cadillac Company ordered 5,000 ignition sets, Deeds and Kettering formed the Dayton Engineering Laboratories company. The ignition system was introduced in the 1910 Cadillac.[1]. 1908 (MCMVIII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar). ...
