I drive by most of the original sites of not only Delco but also it's distant GM family cousin... Delphi (Chassis and Interior) on a daily basis here in Dayton, Ohio.

Charles Kettering is the embodiment of the American success story. He was a farmer, schoolteacher, mechanic, engineer, scientist, inventor and social philosopher. He faced adversity in the form of poor eyesight that plagued him all his life. He was forced to drop out of college twice due to his vision before completing his electrical engineering degree.
Kettering went on to become a leading researcher for the U.S. automotive industry.
His company, Dayton Engineering Laboratories, Delco, was eventually sold to General Motors and became the foundation for the General Motors Research Corporation of which Kettering became vice president in 1920. He is best remembered for his invention of the all-electric starting, ignition and lighting system for automobiles, which replaced the crank. It first appeared as standard equipment on the 1912 Cadillac.
