Those National Photo Company pictures, shot on big film (or plates?) with a large format camera, are wonderfully detailed.
The inevitable often happens.

YES! Please do! And look at a couple hundred other great photos and make good comments, interesting observations, historic oddities, etc. The new gallery has the potential to be a great resource, where good photos can be studied, and discussed in an ongoing format, unlike the old forum where "old photos" soon dropped out of sight.
I have commented on dozens of photos there, and I do not want to be the only one doing so. I certainly do not know everything. I want to see corrections, but keep it civil, no nasty name calling or other #### matches with ANYBODY.
The absolute truth may never be known about many model T details. Comparisons of Ford records, dates of changes, old photos, as well as empirical data all need to be considered.
Also, my "THANKS!" to Adrian Whiteman for posting so many wonderful photos there! A few subsections of photos are mostly his postings.

The galleries are much like real-life galleries or libraries. Fine things to see, practically no one around, quiet as a tomb. Shhhhhh !

I apologize for not spending more time there, and also for not commenting. The format doesn't much encourage conversation and that's too bad. I hope more folks will "visit" the galleries and participate. Thank you Adrian for posting so many wonderful and interesting photos !
