Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2014: OT - Are these the patent drawings for this magneto?

The yellowed page is from the Model K owners manual. The patent drawings are for a magneto. I suspect Ford copied the patent drawings for the "K" manual, neglecting to change the drawing from four to six cylinder.





Do you think these drawings are for the same magneto seen in the Ford drawing?

Thanks,

Rob

Layden, can you point out the differences? Do you think both are high tension?
Thanks,
Rob
