[NJARC] Ampmeter on 1935 Harley Davidson

[Al Klase]

Jerry,

I don't know much about bikes, but in the days before idiot lights, 
standard automotive instrumentation included an ammeter.  It allows you 
judge if and to what extent the system was charging or discharging.  The 
generators were pretty wimpy, so this was a good thing.  Not many cars 
had voltmeters.
