The car you showed above is the one that Kim has if I recall correctly. Looks like the same chassis to me.

The cylinder jackets are copper but you can't tell it in the photo. Check out the drawing below. Pretty slick how that copper sleeve worked and HF said the jackets could be changed out easily. Pull off the head, slip the steel retainer up and slide the jacket off the top.

The fellow that had the photos taken had come from out of town so apparently Henry Ford and Wills had the chassis stripped down where you could see it better. Later that day after the photos, they attached some seats so they could make a 50 mile demonstration drive. It was ready for a side entrance tonneau body and to be part of the 1905 production model line.

This car also has that globe socket type steering sector on it. Kim was working on that steering sector part of his Model B car the last time or so he posted on the other site. The steering sector is on the right of the add. The air cooled four cylinder Ford showed at Detroit in February 1904 called for the same type steering sector.

The engine crankshaft in this car was supplied by Wyman & Gordon, Worcester, Mass. and the radiator was by Whitlock. Ford would have been getting ready for 1905 models so they probably had contracts for the first ones already made.

Apparently, Dodge didn't have anything to do with the drive shaft/rear axle/hubs from the universal joint back. Furnished as a unit by another supplier, American Ball Bearing Company, Cleveland, Ohio.

Do you have any pictures of the left side of the engine of the car above you could post?
