Coil box question.

Post by Jack Putnam, in Ohio » Sat Sep 13, 2025 10:56 pm

What year was the metal strip that goes from front to back in the metal coil box between the second and third coils? I have two boxes one with the slot for the metal strip and one with out. Trying to identify the year of issue

The center strip was added about 1918.
If the mounting holes are round the coil box is 1915-1916.
Square holes are 1917-1922.
