I drew this headlight, mainly because I've got to draw all of them, but Darren J. Wallace had such really nice pictures on Face Book of it, that I just had to copy them....had a few questions, which always happens when I'm drawing something I totally know nothing about. He posted some nice pictures showing me what I didn't see....anyhoo, couldn't find out what the part numbers for the round insulator, the burner or the adjustable burner/gas connection plate were. If anybody here knows please let me know.


And if anybody has some really nice pictures of the working parts of a Jno. Brown Gas Generator, I'd like to see those too, thanks.

I would be glad to help but my car has a mixture of brands. Being such an early 1913, nothing was wasted from the extra 1912 parts Ford had in stock. My car has a Victor all brass generator, and photos from 1929 show the family and all the original details of my car.

I’ll get you some details of the bottom of the headlight.

Ford may have used up Brown lamps on the early production year 13's but I have no evidence they went much into the '13 calendar year, if at all. The 16's were used all of the calendar year, and 1914 as well.

Some changes....Rev.1-A

The model 16 Jno. Brown lamps are clearly pictured almost everywhere, McCalley's Car That Changed the World for instance.

I guess maybe I should've included the model number in the drawings title.
That's an easy fix, this is a Model 19
