I noticed something today and I just wonder if anyone knows anything about it.
Three of my old Chevy grain trucks have the original ignition switch and key in them - the '35, '54, and '55. The key has a hexagon shaped head on it. One side says something like "GM family of fine vehicles" or something to that effect. Definitely GM original equipment. The other side has the Briggs and Stratton logo and says Briggs and Stratton on it. I actually got my readers and went to the one with the lowest miles (least worn key) to make sure I was seeing it correctly.
Did B&S provide electrical components for GM years ago? It's odd to me that a small engine manufacturer would be supplying something like that to a big auto maker that would no doubt need a large number of switches. Was it just for the grain truck/large vehicle sector or did the car keys have the same thing? It seems odd that Chevy let them "advertise" on their product.

It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
