Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2014: Found this in my forgotton stuff ...

While hooking up the headlights on the 27 touring I needed another cap for the bakelight thimble. Now somewhere years ago I had some of them. I know I did, Did I not .?? So I started searching the old piles... Found this nice box of thimbles I had forgotten about, for T Ford and lots of other makes. The 2 largest openings are the T headlight and tail light thimbles. Its a shame the list under the lid is almost gone. If someone has a box like this and still has the list I would appreciate any help in identifying the other makes and models ...

Im also trying out my new photo resizer. These are my first photos since the computer was hit by lightening. I found a resizer that is 3 clicks and done ... It is in my "right click menu: have the photo you want resized highlighted (or highlight as many as you want it will do them all at once) right click it and select resize from the menu. The first time it will have you set your choice (small, large or custom) hit resize and you are done. No need to save anything or make a duplicate file. It will put the resized photo beside your original in your photo files. it just renames the new ones "small, medium, large or custom" after the original name. Very slick fast and simple .... It is a free download and takes just a couple minutes for the whole process ... No large files or crap and does not even add anything to your desktop.

Donnie -- #42 on the chart looks like it's for a 1915-16 T headlight.

Mike: There is one pair of the #42s, I do not know what the "DC" or "SC" stands for.??? Also, the #41 is a single contact L shaped thimble. Did the 15-16 ever use a L-shaped one for the taillight. ?? Most of these are NOS with a few used ones mixed in.

Reading my post I just answered my own question. SC= single contact DC= double contact. as my grandson says "Duh" old brains work slow ....

DC is double contact; SC is single.

Donnie,

1915 - 1918 tail lights are kerosene. No need for a wire connector. Even the brake lights are kerosene in 1915 - 18.

The L connectors with double contacts were used from 1915 - some time in 1918 model year on headlights.

Thanks Royce. It seems strange that Ford left the kerosene tail light on for so long after the electric headlights came out. Ive never had a 15/16 but I do remember a friends 15 having a kerosene taillight .... Most of these will fit the T sockets, even some of the fancy nickel plated ones with the spring loaded contact.

And here I always thought that DC and SC were the same thing, "Direct Current" and "Straight Current". haha

I think Ford had to limit the electrical load on the magneto. Two headlights in series plus the ignition coils were probably about the limit.
Oh, I forgot there was also a mag horn. (Used very little I think)
