After Cadillac introduced the self-starter, they were awarded the prestigious Dewar Cup, acknowledging it as the year's greatest industrial accomplishment. Cadillac had recognized that crank starting a car exposed the operator to potential injury and made it difficult for women to operate. Dyaton Electric Laboratories was contracted to develop the electric starting and generating system for the 1912 Cadillac models. The benefits of this system not only included ease of staring but also a source of electricity for lighting and other systems.
