Some inventions seem to be naturally bad ideas but work anyway, while others are bad ideas that don't actually work that well. In-tank electric fuel pumps are an example of the first, the Bendix dual mag as a poster child for the second. But not for much longer.rnEarlier this year, in a terse two-line press release, Teledyne C onti-nental announced that it's discontinuing manufacture of the D2000 and D3000 Bendixrnmagnetos. No details were offered nor provided by follow-up query, but we can connect the dots. D-mags aren't used on any Continental engines, just Lycomings. Litigationally speaking, they've lived a rough life so Continental must have figured why have the legal exposure just to supply a competitor with a few mags. Even a Goldman Sachs executive could figure that one out.

机译：有些发明似乎天生就是坏主意，但无论如何还是有效的，而另一些则是实际上并不那么有效的坏主意。坦克式电动燃油泵是第一种，第二种是Bendix Dual mag，是其后代。但不久之后，今年早些时候，Teledyne C onti-ental在简短的两行新闻稿中宣布，它将停止生产D2000和D3000 Bendixrnmagnetos。后续查询没有提供或提供任何细节，但是我们可以将点连接起来。 D-mags没有在任何Continental引擎上使用，只有Lycomings。从诉讼角度来讲，他们过着艰难的生活，因此美国大陆航空一定已经弄清楚了为什么要合法获得曝光才能为竞争对手提供一些帮助。甚至高盛的一位高管也可以弄清楚这一点。
