A question for the more electrically-minded crowd....

[Marshall V. Daut]

I doubt whether schools offer hands-on courses in anything as practical as electricity anymore. Not "relevant" enough for the new generations. Get one's hands dirty??? That's for somebody ELSE to do! Why take a useless course like electricity when you can take a course that teaches you how to feel good about yourself? Although I wasn't crazy about any of the four shop courses in 8th Grade (electrical, woodworking, metal working and drafting), even then I recognized that they gave me at least some extra skills that would come in handy in life. I guess such things are no longer considered worthwhile in current school curricula. Grumble, grumble, grumble...

Hey! Maybe "old31" and I had the same shop teacher for electricity??? That might explain why we are such dunces when it comes to solving electrical problems???

Back to the question at hand: I did measure the rod and steering shaft and they were a match to each other according to the Snyder's chart. They are the last one on the list, the Gemmer H option for 1930-31. I'll see if an Ohm meter will tell me what I need to know later today. I'll also hook up the battery to the horn and light rod to see if this final test will ease my mind.
