Does anyone know the month in 1913 the rear axle fill plug was changed from slotted to hex? No guessing allowed!

That's a good come back Allan! LOL

I was fortunate enough to be given by a dear friend all the original drawings, penciled in changes, dates from personal copies from his father's work at Ford years back that I do not believe have ever made it to public view. These start from late 1907 to 1932. Sorry but these will not be published until my death as promised.
