I'm with Ross on this one. There was a "heavy duty" generator offered in 1940. It was primarily for police cars with a radio, extra lights, etc.

I have searched for one of those for decades but have never seen one.
The difference? As Ross had stated, it was larger than the stock generator. Not larger in diameter but rather, in length.
