In 1915 the acetylene flame lamps and oil lamps gave way to electric lighting driven by the magneto, and the hood gained louvers on its vertical sides. The windshield also moved well behind the firewall onto a new cowl panel. Starting remained a matter of the hand crank for four more years, since an electric starter was not offered until 1919, and the engine was built for gasoline, though kerosene or ethanol would also run in it.
