Parts of the 'Ford Model A', Atale, Sri Lanka.


The floor-board - Gear and hand-brake levers, starter button, clutch-pedal, accelerator-pedal  and  brake-pedal.
The starter motor with the mechanical link to the starter button on the floor.

The dynamo which delivered 6 Volts has been replaced by an alternator.

The high-tension current distributor giving an interrupted current to the spark-plugs.
 The fascination of old technology caught me when I inspected this car manufactured by Ford in 1928, in the UK. The controls on the floor-board had the accelerator placed between the clutch and brake pedals. The starter button was foot-operated and had a mechanical link to the starter motor. The distributer cap was sitting on a side of the engine.
