The procedure was simple back then, north would be south on the compass needle and one disconnected the car battery, push started the vehicle, then hooked the cables up in reverse. Pos would be the new neg... You charged it for an hour and drove away, if there was anything left to drive to.
Not enough computers and electronics to worry over back then and hardly anything in a vehicle to go off course.
The rapid movement of the poles is suspected to be due to our overdue polar reversal. We have gone double the normal time for the event. Not to fear, since the shift usually takes several hundred to a thousand years, which is about right with the present 40k per year rate of change.
Interesting post,..if there is anything else you can tell us about what you learnt during that time, it would all be very interesting,.. I didnt know anything about the battery terminals
