Has Anyone Ever Researched What Features Are On the Patent Plate
 

anyone care to guess? Steel-spoke wheels? Cowl tank? Suspension?

The patents would have to relate to something unique to the car, correct?

There was an article in the Model A News a few years ago that researched the patent numbers and what they were for.
