According to the Ford archives, two styles were used during production. One was a Ford designed part and the other produced by an outside source. The one shown is very similar to the outside source print.

Re: Early swivel joint for commutator rod?
Ron, is 7/32" equivalent to a certain wire gauge? I have found that spoke nipples from Wire wheels have the same thread as the T carb linkages and timer rods. I have used a section of one nipple as a locknut against swivel end on a carb linkage.
