Two companion sheets cover the early Model A starting, charging, and ignition circuits, plus lighting, horn, panel lamp, and electric wiper branches.
Three matching sheets cover starting and charging, battery/magneto ignition, and lighting, horn, and described body-lamp branches.
The improved-car magneto arrangement without an electric starter, drawn as a single coordinated system.
Three coordinated sheets trace electric starting and charging, BAT/MAG ignition, and battery-powered lighting and horn.
A magneto-powered arrangement with ignition and series-connected headlamps, kept distinct from electric-starter equipment.
The early Model T magneto, coil units, timer, and spark-plug circuits, redrawn as one functional schematic.

Current coverage is selected pre-1930 Ford material. A reference packet is not a completed wiring redraw. Undated material stays undated, and Model T diagrams are not assigned to Model TT trucks without supporting evidence.
The printed collection
Printed year/model editions are being prepared for Lulu. The intended format is a light-background, color workshop booklet that keeps the matching circuits together. Free schematic PDFs are available now; print ordering is not open yet.
When an edition is ready, its package page will show the actual format, page count, price, and a direct order link. Lulu booklets are separate from large-format wall prints.
A new drawing, with a traceable source
The schematic PDFs are new functional drawings based on cited period references. Their typography, spacing, and muted circuit colors make the electrical relationships easier to follow. Each edition identifies the source and the equipment arrangement it represents.
The colors identify circuit function, not necessarily the original cloth-wire colors. Controls are grouped as functional assemblies rather than physical terminal maps.
A dedicated collection
Each package page gathers the matching schematic sheets, coverage notes, and source citations. Original scans remain identified as source material. U.S. civilian Ford material is the starting point for this collection.

Yes. The six schematic draft editions can be opened directly without an account, checkout, or email signup. Each PDF retains its draft identification and source notes.
Check the exact year, model, and equipment arrangement first. Starter equipment, lighting, ignition, and body accessories can differ. A package is not a claim that every vehicle built in that year uses the same wiring.
The six schematic PDF editions contain newly drawn functional schematics. Other catalog entries link to historical or secondary source references and are labeled accordingly.
Lulu print editions are in preparation. No print order is being accepted here yet. For a local print, open a free PDF and choose a suitable paper size; the original vector pages can be enlarged without losing line sharpness.
