Ok what is that at 0:19 looks like spaghetti??? Anyone?? Knuck from indiana.

 

Tose plates full of spaghetti were the "magnetos" being assembled. They were really a big generator built into the flywheel I would guess those wires were either attached to or were waiting to be attached to the armature coils.

 

neat. they looked so chincy, but took a beating like a champ

 

Pretty cool video -- thanks!

Great Video !!! Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

Hard to imagine 15MM cars.

 

Yeah, and I can't find a single decent one to start my project in Texas. I think all the northern hambers have nabbed them all and are hoarding them.

 

Chris: Don't underestimate the number of them that never survived the '30s. By the late '20s automotive design had overtaken the "T"'s 1908 technology in leaps and bounds. In the early '30s very few people wanted them anymore because of the obselescence. I remember oldtimers telling me about taking them to the town dump (not a scrap yard or recycler) and shoving them over the hill simply because they quit running. God knows hoe many were lost to the WWII scrap drives.

 

As another guy said on a diff thread......



Model Ts are under rated.

 

It's always neat to look back on the history of Henry's cars.
