What is the procedure for ordering copies of drawings?
There are two services that are offered. The first one is for customers who can visit us onsite in the reading room. The second option is for offsite orders, for those who are unable to visit the reading room.
Onsite: You can print out your own copies of parts drawings by using a microfiche reader/printer. The fee is $5 per microfiche. (This service is not available for offsite researchers).
Offsite: You must fill-out, sign, and return with payment, the following Parts Drawing Order Form. You must provide the part(s) drawing(s) number(s). If you do not know the engineering or factory part number, we will research the numbers for you at an additional cost of $35 per hour. For a detailed description of our research services, please see Services.
Fees: The fee is $30 per drawing.
Payments can be made with a credit card or check. If paying by check, make the check out to "The Henry Ford."
Copies are delivered as high resolution digital scans on CD.
Restrictions for Commercial Use
The Henry Ford is not part of the Ford Motor Company. We are a separate, nonprofit institution. We have the parts drawings in our collection, and we can supply copies, but we cannot confer the right to manufacture reproduction parts for sale – you would need to contact the Ford Motor Company for that. Their contact for restoration parts licensing is:

So "commercial use" is verboten without prior authorization. One expects this might imply a fee.
"Informational" use (well, some of us would prefer to use existing design data for our own quality assurance) appears variable depending on media, and how much effort they have to put into access/research.
IIRC, the Ford drawing system is based on "part number?"
