For a diesel engine it means you don't have to rely on a battery which may not have enough charge. Aircraft used to have cartridge starters too. The Royal Navy Sea Venom fighters from the 1950s used them. Also if you've ever watched the 2004 version of the film "The flight of the Phoenix" you have that nerve-wracking scene at the end when Dennis Quaid manages to start the engine on the very last cartridge! I find it a much more dramatic version than in the original film.

That is one of my favourite movies, and you are right, it's gripping and you're urging that engine to start - in the comfort of your home! Saw it first time on the big screen and I'm sure the Mrs has the DVD - if not I shall ask her to add it to the bargain-bin search - happy to watch it any time

A revisit reveals that it was first introduced on the Junkers Jumo 205 diesel engine in 1936 Further search found some interesting information : https://en.wikipedia.org...i/Coffman_engine_starter https://en.wikipedia.org...Aircraft_engine_starting Regards, Philip
