Floyd Clymers "A" wiring Schematic
 

I was going through some of my old literature and found Floyd Clymer's "How to Restore the Ford Model A" and it had a wiring schematic that isn't as nice as the color one Tom Wesenberg posts from time to time, but I thought I'd share anyway.

Thanks, one can never have too much information. Floyd seems like quite a character and his name for his garage,the Auto Shed, perfectly fits where I work on my cars.

This is for the fluted headlights. Mike V. usually posts the nice colored diagram and I have saved it and may have also posted it once or twice. As I recall it was for the TWOLITE system, which is what most people have.

Floyd is long gone. I met him in1954 when I had a motorcycle shop in Biloxi MS. He bought a 1904 Pope from me. He was a cultured guy.

Tom, thanks for the clarification! I didn't catch that.
Yes, I have a few of his publications from the 50's and his picture showed him to be of distinguished age then, He also had a model A accessory called the "Clymer Windshield Spotlight" that is advertised on page 141 of the "Ford Model A Album".
He must have been an interesting man.

How much was that Pope in 1954?

Thanks for posting that. I have the color version laminated and hanging in my barn and it looks real close to this one, but you can *never* have too many wiring diagrams :D

Not sure what you mean by "pope", there wasn't a price listed on the windsheild light, the publication was $3.00, from 1959.

Pope-Robinson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
See also Pope-Toledo and Pope-Waverley Pope-Robinson was part of the Pope automobile group of companies founded by Colonel Albert Pope manufacturing Brass Era automobiles in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. The company could trace its roots back to Bramwell-Robinson who started as paper box machinery makers going on to make some single cylinder 3 wheeled cars between 1899 and 1901. The two founders split up in 1902 to each make their own models under their own names, the Bramwell, which continued until 1904 and the Robinson which originally appeared in 1900. The Robinsons were originally made by John T Robinson and Company becoming the Robinson Motor Vehicle Company in 1902 before joining the Pope group later that year. The last cars were made in 1904.
The 1904 Robinson was a touring car model. Equipped with a tonneau, it could seat 5 passengers and sold for $5000. The vertically-mounted water-cooled straight-4, situated at the front of the car, produced 24 hp (17.9 kW). A 3-speed sliding transmission was fitted. The channel steel-framed car weighed 2600 lb (1179 kg). This advanced model, based on the Système Panhard used a modern cellular radiator and competed with the top-line European vehicles.
