I just gotta know...Now that the magnetic North has shifted at the pole will that make my Model T pull more to the berm or to the center of the road?

Seth,
The Magnetic North Pole is located at the Geographic South Pole.
The berm and center of the road are inverse to intuition.

I drive a Model T ... Microseconds don't matter :D

For every Absolute Model T Fact there are at least three exceptions.

As we discussed on page twenty-four, the gyramic intofluxer inside your magneto was calibrated for 25.4 at the factory. If we simply move the factory 1 foot 3 inches to the South South West we will notice no extensive reaction. Per KD's notes on 7/23/32.

Call Heinrich in you have any questions.
When did I do that?
