We'd like to publish this diagram in a forthcoming booklet about the Model A. Does anyone know who holds the copyright?

Re: copyright of this picture
John,
I don't know who holds the rights to the diagram but the exact same picture appears in Leslie R. Henry's book "Henry's Fabulous Model A" on page 102. It's figure 86B. This book has been around a long time, printed in 1959 by Clymer Publications. In the cover page it is stated "Printed with the permission of Ford Motor Company letter #1004." My copy is of the tenth printing, dated 1978. Hope this helps. Marty |

It also came out in a little booklet "FORD Model A Restoration Manual, A-1". Copyright 1955 by the Ford Motor Company, Dearborn Michigan.
So with that being said...I guess the Ford Motor Company holds the "copyright". Pluck |

Re: copyright of this picture
If you don't get permission, would they put you in the "SLAMMER"??? At least, you wouldn't have to COOK or do LAUNDRY!
Dad Wondering??

Re: copyright of this picture
I think that diagram goes all the way back to the salesman's catalog that Ford published when the Model A was in the showrooms still. I have a repro of that catalog, and that diagram with dimensions is in it.

Re: copyright of this picture
If that's the case, it probably wasn't ever copyrighted. Ford wouldn't have been interested in selling catalogs for their artistic value.

Re: copyright of this picture
This site contains all of those old schematics and they give credit to someone called "deuceguy" (the link given to this individual doesn't work). Maybe contact this site for any advice, or likely just go ahead and use it - likely no one will care.

They can. But unless you make a habit of it, the more likely penalty is paying damages to the copyright holder and/or a fine, both of which can be substantial. |

Re: copyright of this picture
I don't think there's much doubt but that "deuceguy" never had permission to use them in the first place. In a 2005 post on the HAMB he stated:
"These are hi res scans from a book published in the 50's called "Ford MODEL A Resoration Manual" A couple of years later he posted a picture of this book's cover and stated: "I don't think the publisher, Polyprints, is in business anymore.' Not much doubt that he never had any permission to use them and they've been viewed by thousands since. I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep over using anything you want. |

Like Jim said, use it and source it.

Re: copyright of this picture
I doubt it matters now, you just posted it here, constituting publishing it. You are probably headed for the slammer anyway! So there.

Re: copyright of this picture
I don't know if this helps any but Pursuant to 17 U.S. Code § 107, certain uses of copyrighted material "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."

If you stay in California, just claim sanctuary like Quasimodo did.

Re: copyright of this picture
My book is copyrighted but if you want to use anything out of it, go ahead. I'll never catch you and you'll have had the fun of reading it or looking at the pictures. I doubt anyone will find a drawing that has been available for 50 plus years. JMHO
