Scouts were made by Auto-Lite, but are listed on this chart for convenience.
Information on the 1950-1951 Indian police generator from Roger Hensley:
The generator was made by American Generator
& Armature Co. and was not a special unit for Indian. It was
rated at 25 amps. It has a cooling fan on the pulley end which requires
a cut-back in the upper flange of the belt guard. The commutator
end was open, and Indian part # 333,013 was used as a cover. The battery
was made by "C&D", their part no. UV-37. It was rated
at 45 amp-hours. With this setup the regulator, Auto-Lite VRR-4001-B,
was mounted on the chainguard.
