The President’s Message - Summer by John Biggs, EFR 2

Well, summer has arrived in the Northern

Hemisphere so it is time to test the garage work

performed during the winter and to get touring

again.

First, I would like to congratulate Dave Dunlavy

on his recent award for editorship of the EFR

Newsletter. Dave has been a tireless worker on

our behalf for many years and has always kept the

Newsletter fresh and interesting. Thank you

Dave and well done.

I have just spent two wonderful weeks away from

TV, newspapers and internet; the first was a trip

on the canals around the midlands of England in a

narrowboat (the city of Birmingham has more

canals than Venice) followed immediately by an

expedition to Norway with my Model A in the

trailer for a 2 day veteran car tour known as ‘The

Trail of the Snails’. There is something very

relaxing about being away from the media for a

while and I have enjoyed it immensely while

apologising to those who have emailed me and

await a reply.

During last winter, I have had the engine out of

my Model T to restore the magneto by repairing

the stator plate, and have worked on my Model A

to make it more reliable. Ever since I bought my

Model A in 1996, it has boiled in traffic. It will

run fine if kept on the move but as soon as it got

into a traffic hold up it overheated. The vent on

the water tank has a long rubber tube attached so

steam billowed out leading to enquiries as to whether it is a steam car.

The President’s Message – Summer continued from page 1

I had tried numerous solutions; a thorough clean out of the radiator and pipes, a four bladed

impellor in the water pump to replace the original 3 bladed version and also removed the baffles

from the water tank to aid the flow of water through the system. I know I am not alone in

having suffered from this problem; some Model As boil and some do not. The cooling system

is clearly operating right on its limits.

At Hershey two years ago, John Grace suggested a solution for me. He recommended using

Evans Waterless Coolant in the system rather than water. It is expensive but it has proved to be

a total solution. It will not boil; it acts as antifreeze and also is a corrosion inhibitor. Thanks

for the advice, John. I can now tour with complete peace of mind as I have no requirement to

stop and top up the coolant level every few miles.

One of the fun things I do every year is visit a

local primary school with one of my cars where,

together with other vehicle owners, we introduce

the 5-6 year old children to our cars and

demonstrate the difference between ancient and

modern motoring. The children have a

wonderful time climbing in and out of the cars,

asking their own questions and answering my

questions such as ‘Where are the seatbelts”,

“where are the windshield wipers” etc.

The wonder and excitement of the children

makes the whole thing worthwhile and their

teachers tell me that they talk about our visit for days afterwards. I am not allowed to

photograph the children due to child protection laws in UK but here is a photograph of the

teachers after the event. Teachers were never that pretty in my day.

The Veteran Car Club Creepy Crawly Tour took place in April this year and there were two

Fords among the 100 or so 1 & 2 cylinder cars. I am pleased to report that the Fords acquitted

themselves well, although my Model A suffered a broken timer spring which required

replacing. Fortunately, I always carry a spare. The original Model A & C timer spring is a

weak point in the design. No wonder that Henry Ford changed the timer design for the Model F.

The event was held at a hotel converted from a large country house in the undulating landscape

of Buckinghamshire, near Oxford. The hotel is now used for business conferences and can

accommodate 300 guests and has car parking space for the cars and trailers. The only downside

to the event was the torrential rain and cold northerly wind on the Saturday afternoon.

continued on page 3





I must confess, I used the full performance of my Model A to race back to the hotel that

afternoon as my wife was not enjoying the weather at all. The weather on Sunday was a

complete contrast so her faith in veteran motoring was restored.

I am writing this during the return journey from Norway. On this trip I am accompanied by

Mike Spencer who many of you have met at Hershey. Our wives decided they could not spare

the time to be away from home for 8 days. As I mentioned

in the Spring Newsletter, this trip involves two ferry trips in

each direction. I am pleased to report that this return boat

trip is smooth as silk but the outbound ferry trip from UK to

Denmark was one of the worst experiences I have had on a

ship. So rough was the sea that it was impossible to walk

around the ship without being thrown from side to side and

colliding with the walls of the passageways. The only

solution was to take to bed for 13 of the 15 hours on board. It

was difficult to sleep while sliding around on the mattress

but I am pleased to report that we both avoided seasickness thanks to our horizontal posture.

The drive through Denmark to reach the northern port of Hirtshals was 4 hours of battling

torrential rain and prospects for the rally did not look good.

However, next day the rain cleared, the wind dropped and the 4 hour ferry ride to Norway was

smooth and we sat out on deck and enjoyed the experience. By the time we reached Norway,

the sun had emerged and the weather prospects changed. The next two days were bright

sunshine with temperatures in the 20s Celsius (70s Fahrenheit).

The rally was based at an airfield few miles northeast of Oslo

and 13 cars and 1 motorcycle took part. The airfield has a

notable military history having been the first location for the

Norwegian Air Force but it has now reverted to civil use.

We were amused by the sign on the fence and just had to

take a photograph of it before fleeing the country to avoid

retribution.

Surprisingly for a European event, many of the vehicles were

of US origin with 3 Cadillacs, 2 Brush, an Oldsmobile and an

Eldredge taking part. My Model A was the only Ford and I

am pleased to report that she upheld the honour of the Blue

Oval by performing faultlessly throughout. continued on page 4





The Trail of the Snails is not a high mileage tour. It is designed to be part driving part social

and there were numerous stops to admire the stunning scenery and to drink coffee. Lunch was

taken in the open air and the hotel was a mere ½

mile from the airfield so we could easily walk to

and from our cars. With the rally based at an

airfield, the organisers had arranged for sightseeing

trips in a Tiger Moth to be available on the

Saturday evening. Several of the participants took

advantage and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

One of the Norwegian families on the tour had

their 7 year old son with them. His name is Edward

and he astonished us with his wonderful command

of the English language. To be bilingual at that

age is a talent indeed. On the Saturday, he acted as navigator for one of the Brush cars, but the

failure of a spring in the Brush timer put that car out of action for the remainder of the tour.

Edward’s family tour car is a Renault AG taxi and, as he did not fancy riding in the enclosed

compartment in that vehicle, he accepted our offer of a seat in the Ford for the Sunday run.

He loved the experience and his joy was complete when the Ford

overtook the Renault on the return journey that afternoon. I must

admit we were doing over 40 mph at the time but the road was

wide and clear. I was so pleased to witness a member of the next

generations enjoying the old car hobby and was pleased to

encourage his interest.

The Sunday tour had taken us to a narrow gauge steam railway

(750mm) and we

were treated to 15

minute ride up the

valley before the

locomotive 'ran-

around' to haul us back to the base station. The

railroad had been constructed initially for

transporting lumber from the local hillsides

down to the town where it could be transferred

to the full gauge railway for onward

transportation.

continued on page 5





Back at the base station, we were

met by other classic car owners

with a selection of fine cars dating

up to the 1970’s. Among them was

a wonderful contraption

masquerading as a 1903 Model A

and fooling many people until we

arrived in the real thing. I did not

meet the owner but it is clear he

had a good sense of humour and

had found a good use for an old

motorcycle engine.

I am pleased to say that I recruited

another member to the EFR during

the tour. Ove Svendsrud is a

Norwegian who does not speak much English but has a 1908 Model S Roadster restoration

almost complete. Young Edward proved to be useful to translate our conversations. I learned

that there are believed to be only two early Ford cars in Norway; Ove's Model S and a Model R

somewhere in the north of the country. Of course, there are many Model Ts showing the flag

but most Norwegians were unaware of the earlier Ford models and it was a thrill to show them

the Model A and demonstrate it was more than a match for the other manufacturers' early

models.

All in all, it was a great tour and I leave Norway with the memory of friendly people, beautiful

scenery and thin waffles with homemade jam. Next stop France at the end of June for a tour of

the Loire Valley.

Happy touring.

May you spend more time in your Ford

than under it.

John Biggs President, Early Ford Registry




The Vice-Presidents Message – Summer 2013 by Rob Heyen, EFR 162

Well, spring and summer are finally upon us. I hope this letter finds you all

well, with many events planned for the upcoming season.

Events I hope to participate in include the Speedster Reunion in Lincoln

Nebraska (this primarily an all Ford speedster event), Lincoln Highway 100

year celebration (culminating in events in Kearney, Nebraska), The EARLY

FORD REGISTRY TOUR, Paynesville MN, August 3,4 & 5 (more on this in a

minute) followed by New London to New Brighton MN. Later I intend to

participate in the Lansing to Dearborn Run and Old Car Festival, followed by Hershey PA.

This year we will have a "short" Early Ford Registry tour in conjunction with the New London

to New Brighton Tour (Antique Car Run). We did this two years ago with great success. By

having the tours run consecutively there are more tour days (ten days total with NL/NB). Some

of our members who travel lengthy distances appreciate two events to justify the "long haul".

This year, we have

commitments from every

alphabet letter Ford except a

Model C and Model B. Give

me a call for additional

information about the

Paynesville Tour, 402-643-

0235, or email me at:

[email protected] If

your early Ford is not ready to

tour, you may join us with

your brass T, or another brass

car if you are taking a different

car to the New London to New

Brighton Tour. Tim Kelly is

also helping plan the tour so

contact him for additional

information too.

Again, here's to a safe and successful touring season,

Rob Heyen

Vice-President

The Secretary-Treasurer’s Message – Summer 2013 by Rick Lindner, EFR 106

The Early Ford Registry is in good, sound financial shape. Thanks to

Dave Dunlavy sending out notices to all the early members, we now have

them back in the fold with almost 200 members paid. Our summer is

looking good with Rob and Tim planning our Ford pre-tour at New

London/New Brighton. Let's beat those Maxwells this time instead of

tying them.

On the home

front, I have now

received the new crankshaft from

Moldex in Detroit and am working on

getting that Ford engine to running. New

valves, guides, pistons, and

adjustable push rods have been

acquired and in the process of

installation In the meantime I took the

body over to an Amish run carriage

company in December for a new top.

Seems the old one had had it

coming back from NLNB and

everything is made from scratch - all

brand new!!

Hope to see some of you soon, if

not before NLNB. Happy Ford

touring all!!!

Rick Lindner EFR Secretary-Treasurer




Newsletter Editor/Webmaster Report by Dave Dunlavy, EFR 41

We are pleased to have been awarded two

prestigious honors recently.

The Model T Ford Club of America chose to

present the 2012 Golden Mouse Award to us at

the Annual Meeting in Dallas Texas. We were

pleased to have Chris Brancaccio EFR 253,

MTFCA Webmaster, accept the award in our

absence. It is an especially nice trophy made by Dan Conder,

MTFCA Vice-President, with wood from the Conder Sawmill.

The Horseless Carriage Club of America chose our Newsletter

and Website as best overall for 2012. We are awaiting the award

and will tell you about it when it arrives.

The Member’s Photos section of the website is getting a facelift. In the “Displayed by Date”

section, the small pictures displayed on the page (called thumbnails) have been made to load

faster so you won’t have to wait as long before you can click on a picture to display it larger. A

typical page of photos with 35 pictures will display in about 8 seconds. Then, when you choose

to click on a picture to make it larger, it will display in a second or two. We have 105 pages of

pictures and just a few have been upgraded to the new faster format.

The “Sorted by Alphabet” photos haven’t been updated recently but when they are updated, the

“faster display” attributes will be employed.

The “Photo Matrix” section is not complete. If you are looking for pictures of a particular part

for a specific Year and Model Ford, this is where you look. If you have any comments about

these categories, please drop us an email at [email protected].

We are looking forward to making use of our specially developed Email Updates more and

more. The feedback we have received is great. We like to hear from our members.

Keep ‘em On The Road

Geoff King’s 1904 10hp Model A Ford By Geoff King, EFR 275

This is a brief update on our progress with readying our Model A for this year’s (old) London to

Brighton run. Just to recap, we bought the car - a 1904 10hp rear entrance tonneau, flywheel

number 1153 - at the Les Schuchardt sale in South Dakota in September last year. The car

arrived with us in England at the end of February 2013. It has been very nicely restored and is

complete, and in very good all

round condition. However, it has

clearly not had much on-the-road

running time since the restoration.

So the mission is to ensure that it

will run reliably and consistently

on the road, and be capable of

finishing the 60 mile London to

Brighton route.

So far we have spent most time on

the cooling system. Although

everything looked in good

condition, and the radiator is in

very good shape, both times we

have started and run the engine it has boiled over. The first time I thought this was due to an

airlock in the radiator, so we installed a bleed valve at the top of the radiator. This did improve

things a bit, but on the second time we ran the engine, it was clear that water was still not

circulating through the radiator properly. I therefore removed all the readily removable cooling

system pipes, and inspected the

remainder of the system with a

borescope. What we found was a

complete blockage of the pipe from

the water pump to the radiator. The

blockage seems to be a mix of

solder, jointing compound and

general debris – no idea how it got

there! Having cleared this blockage

with some difficulty, the whole

system is now back together as

everything else, including the water

pump, looked fine.

continued on page 10




Geoff King’s 1904 10hp Model A Ford continued from page 9

We are getting ready to test it in the near future, and will try out a waterless coolant, which has

a much higher boiling point than water, as well as anti-freeze and anti-corrosion properties.

Those who have done the London to Brighton run will know that you are likely to encounter

slow moving or stationary traffic at various points along the route, and that some cars quite

readily boil up in such conditions, even in the low temperatures of an English winter. So, it is

very desirable to have a reasonably effective cooling system.

Other areas of the Model A we have looked closely at so far are:

the lubrication systems for the engine, transmission and differential, all of which we now

understand and seem to be working fine;

the carburettor (which is a Ford/Holley NH from a Model T) where we have had to

adjust the float to get the correct level in the float chamber; we have also had to modify

the throttle lever (by heating and bending) so as to get a smooth and progressive throttle

action which synchronises with the operating rod and pedal movement;

the transmission chain – with John Biggs’ help we have taken a link out of this so as to

get the correct tension.

While all this has been going on the car has been going through the Veteran Car Club’s dating

process. As many will know, the London to Brighton run is only open to cars built before 1905,

and every entrant has to provide official paperwork from the VCC confirming eligibility. For

the full VCC dating process, the car must be inspected by at least 2 VCC experts (in our case,

one of the VCC experts was John Biggs), and a very detailed report is produced – around 50

pages. We have just received the report on our Model A, and it does confirm that the car can be

dated 1904.

One other thing we know we will have to do is to replace all four tyres: they have good treads,

but also have significant age-cracking in the sidewalls. Also, we have yet to move the Model A

under its own power, so we need to test the transmission and braking systems. Other items on

the list are checking out thoroughly the wheel bearings and the steering. Quite a lot more still to

do!

Finally I must acknowledge with grateful thanks all the practical help and the advice we have

received from John Biggs in getting to this point – they have been invaluable, and we could not

have done without them.
