The Triang/Rovex ‘Magicar’ motor iln all its glory an inside out version of the typical electrical motor. Whereas cutting the supply to one coil field would result in a stop/start activation of the motor Triang/Rovex flipped this upside down and put the magnet on the spindle/axis and a coil field around the outside. This resulted in the ability to start and stop the the motor by simply stopping the vehicle . A cranked motor spindle acting on the end acted like a set of points or contact breakers on a combustion engine.
