Blocky.  Our web site developer has a sense of humor!  I suspect that the 9 letter word that you're trying to use in your written entry starts with the letter 'C' and ends with the letter 't'.  The word refers to a vehicle developed and built by a fierce competitor of the Ford product line.  The developer of this web site has a severe dislike for the competitor's vehicles, and use of the competitor's product line name evokes negative feelings.  Because of the developer's negative past personal experiences, he will not permit the use of the word in the polite company of users of this web site.  IF you enter the 9 letter word, OR a 5 letter shortened version of the word that starts with 'C' and ends with a letter 'y', the web site developer's computer program will automatically substitute the word 'scrub'.

I hope this explanation helps you understand what is happening to your effort of a certain word entry.  Smile

Getting back to the original subject; Yes, the name Autolite is usually associated with Ford. So, it's likely a 1953 or earlier 6 V generator.  GM stuff  in that era would likely be Delco- Remy..

yes thats funny ha ha and i was using the C word!

AUTO-LITE was an electrical supply company (think of DELCO-REMY) until and after FOMOCO bought certain parts of in 1961.

I think the generator is off a Willy's Jeep.
GJC on the mounting plate is a Jeep number and 6 11/16 space between mounting plates fits Jeep generator mount spacing . The question is was the Ozzie Jeeps 6 Volt most with GJC mounting plate were converted to 12 volt. Could this be an original early Jeep generator or were Ozzies Jeeps 6 volt?
R on the dataplate indicates 1938 or 1960 10 means October
Here is some more confusion I found this on Ebay It shows box as an universal early 50's Ford, Lincoln Merc
