One story wasn't that is known to many, but in 1952 flew Bud flew Arctic Tern - one of the first Cessna 170B's in Alaska at the time, to the North Pole. The following is an article by Craig Medred, Anchorage Daily News, Feb 24, 2010. Remembering Harmon "Bud" Helmericks Nobody in the Alaska...

The 60 Amp Breaker was in place to protect your general electrical buss, not your Alternator. When your ADL clamp wore through your main wire it did create the warm/hot short and heat enough to start a fire, but not enough to create a dead short. You killed the field with the master or battery switc...
