And to answer your other question about the 1932 Model-B and Model 18, they used a locking steering column. The key turned a tumbler to un-pin the column shaft, and the ignition was controlled by a sliding lever switch located above the column mast. When the key was locked, it kept the sliding switch from being moved away from the off position.

-do you mean I have been vindicated, slightly?
