Default 1935 horn wiring

Does the horn only have one wire and to which terminal does it go? The one with the white dot or other one? I assume there is no ground wire since its grounded when horn button pushed? The bolt that holds horn on goes thru fender and has the rubber head light pad underneath, but does this ground any way since bolt contacts metal underneath fender? I have a 1934 sedan with terminals a little different, but it has a ground wire on one of the terminals. ??

Here are two images. One shows the 2 terminals on the horn and the correct wires that goes into them. The second shows the correct horn wire harness with the yellow wire and the blue wire with yellow tracer

I don't see any screws for the wires. This is a Model A horn but the wire hook up the same way.

Jdjj the wires slip into the terminals in here. You may need a pointed nose pliers to push them in. I soldered mine into the horns with no bullet end connectors.
