TheModePT'Ford
(By Dr. Hugh Templin, in the
Fergus News -Record)
—sot in search of excitement but
simply to rest the nerves.
Last week's Elora Express ad-
vertised an auction sale in Alma,
which will be over before this
paper is mailed. Among the ob-
jects for sale is a Model T Ford.
The advertisement says, "Model T
Ford, special model, leather up-
holstering, wire wheels, all good
tires, in fair state of repair.”
We're not thinking of buying it,
not even as an antique. There
was a Model T in the Templin
family once. And once was en-
oegh.
This was the famous old car
that was said to have introduced.
"ratoring to the million," or was
it millions to motoring? It doesn't
matter really. It is sufficient to
say there never was another car
like it, and there never will be.
And that is something to be thank-
ful for on a hot day.
This was the car that made
Henry Ford famous and rich. The
Ford agent in Fergus, away back
thirty years or more ago, used to
say -that everybody owned a Model
T sooner or later. But only one.
One was enough.
That was the old car that begot
a million jokes, like this:
"Why is a Ford car like a bath-
tub ?"
e
cause everybody like to own
one but nobody wants to be seen
in one!"
There were
the Model T:

and the little
right along."

MITCHELL, ONTARIO
The original Model T's were
touring cars with a top like a bug-
gy. They didn't make much speed,
sO most owners drove with the top
down. It was like a glorified _bug-
gy top and it took four persons
to put it up when a sudden -storm
came along. By the time the top
was up, the storm was likely to be
over, and everybody was soaked to
the skin. There were side cur-
tains tucked away in the top and
they were like shower curtains in
a bath and let in considerable wa-
ter People`Who had Model T's did

here was no seltztarter on the
oi&ly models. Later, you could
buy one for $85 extra. "You can
do a lot of cranking for $85," the
agents would say. But after a
neighbor broke his wrist while
cranking, the next few Fords would
have starters.
The cranking crf a Model T was
quite a process. There was no
bumper to get in the way. Y,ou
leaned down over the radiator
(with no water pump) and caught
hold of a bent wire that worked
the choke. You gave the crank a
spin and at the same time you
pulled the choke wire. There was
a backfire and the crank flew out
of your hand, spinning merrily
backwards as you ducked out of
the road. Then you remembered
that you hadn't adjusted the spark
lever on the steering column, so
you ran around and pushed it up.
After a couple more tries, the en-
gine coughed a few times and once
again you rushed around and pull-
ed down the throttle and spark
levers. If you timed •everything
properly', the engine kept on going.
Even after starters were stand-
ard equipment on Fords, the choke
wire and the crank remained in
front. Bad boy at garden parties
used to walk along in front of the
Fords, pull out the choke wires
and bend them down. It sometimes
Look half an hour to find out why
the engines would run only a min-
ute or two before stalling. '
But the really characteristic part
of the Model T was the transmis-
sion. There was no other car had
anything like that, which was for-
tunate. We understand the heart
of the apparatus was a planetary
gear and it was operated by three
foot pedals ranged inaa row along
the floor. The difficulty was that
human beings have only two feet.
It was necessary to play them lice
a pipe organ,/ with hands and feet
both in tune—and those who didn't
play the proper notes at the right
time were apt to be in trouble :n -
deed. The car would go` into re-
verse instead of low, or it would
bc in low gear when the drives
wanted to stop. The result Was
apt to be disastrous, either way.
A Fergus merchant bought an
early Model T and learned to
drive. He planned to keep it in
the basement of his store. He had
heard about its peculiarities and
he did not want it to smash into
the stone wall because that would
smash the headlights, two big
brass lamps powered by acteylene.
So he got a wooden box and plac-
ed it near the wall to take the
shock if the car refused to stop.
As expected, he got the wrong set
of pedals. The car moved stead-
ily ahead in low and hit the box,
shoving the radiator back on the
motor and the motor back into the
Scat. The Model T had plenty of
power in low, but not much in high
gear.
A farmer at Ennotville proved
the same thing in a different way.
He drove into his barn and put
his feet down. Half -way down on
one pedal, all the way down on
the other, put it in neutral. All
the way down on one pedal put it
in low; all the way on a third
pedal and half -way down another
put it In reverse. The farmer
Pushed the two outside Pedals all
the way down. The c/tr did not
stop, He is said to have yelled
"Whoa!" with no 'results. The car
continued on through the end wall
of the barn and dropped on the
soft manure pile, Neither car. nor
driver was much the *Oise. Those
old cars were tough; their dritr.ars
had to be. ,
There was still another Pecul-
iarity of the Model T Wirieli made
it unique. Before It was tranked

The Model T was popularly
known as "Tin Lizzie." Its body
was neither beautiful nor built to
modern safety standards. They
used to tell about the farmer up
near Arthur who had the galvan-
ized iron roof blown off his ,barn.
It was just a tangled mass of me-
al Apparently it wasn't worth
anything. But a neighbor suggest-
ed Henry ,Pord might pay some-
thing for it as scrap. So it was
crated up and shipped to Detroit.
A few days later, the local Ford
agent drove up with a new
Model 1'.
"Mr. _Ford says that was •the
worst wreck of a Ford car he ever
saw, so he sent you a new one."
There were no extras on the
early Model T's. There was no
storage 'battery. The lights ran di-
rect lY ''from the magneto. The
