Im gonna need a bigger barn.. Beginning in 1907, his NCR colleague Edward A. Deeds convinced Kettering to develop improvements for the young automobile. He told Kettering, There is a river of gold running past us, [9] implying that, with their know-how, all they needed to do was dip into it. Deeds and Kettering invited other NCR engineers, including Harold E. Talbott, to join them nights and weekends in their tinkering at Deedss barn. They became known as the Barn Gang, and Kettering was their leader. Boss Ket, they called him. They set their first task as improving ignition, replacing the magneto.[10] In 1909 Kettering resigned from NCR to work full-time on automotive developments. The Barn Gang incorporated as Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company, or Delco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_F._Kettering
