A particularly unique feature is the elimi-

distributor to the spark-plugs, these con-

on the dash with the distributor.
The distributor head itself is water proof
and has been specially designed to prevent
short circuits from rain, snow, etc.
Another exclusive Ford development is
shown in the construction of the housing
of the steering gear mechanism. This is
made of three steel forgings, electrically
welded together.
The housing is then electrically welded
to the steering column, thus making one
piece steel unit.
