3 vector schematic sheets · 24 × 18 inch original pages · Light ivory · Draft R02
Equipment & coverage
Match the arrangement.
Battery/starter-equipped improved-car arrangement. Body lamps are included only as optional assemblies described by the cited instruction book.
These are functional schematic drafts. Independent circuit and fitment review is pending. Confirm the connections and equipment on your vehicle before using a drawing for wiring work.
Reading the sheets
Color follows function.
Muted colors distinguish battery/starting, generation, ignition, lighting, horn, and frame-return circuits where shown. The colors are an editorial reading aid and do not identify every original insulation color.
Dots join conductors. Controls and loads are drawn as grouped assemblies; the layout is not a physical harness routing or terminal-position guide.
