Форд выпускал "Model A" в 1903 и большую часть 1904 года. В октябре 1904 года появилась четырёх-цилиндровая "Model B", а в декабре - "Model С", которая была несколько пересмотренной версией "Model A". Более поздним версиям "Модели A" дали двигатель "Модели C" и название "Model AС". В марте 1905 к линии была добавлена "Model F" и производство моделей "B", "C" и "F" продолжалось и в 1906 году. Ниже приводится материал, воспроизведённый из оригинальных буклетов "Ford Motor Company" с описанием каждой модели.

THE 1904-05 FORD MODEL B
INTRODUCTION
|
To you, the auto mobile user, present or prospective, we present this description
of our product for 1905 with a feeling of well justified confidence which past successes bring.
The Ford automobile stands out pre-eminent among all other well known cars, having carved for
itself in the country's commercial history a place second to none and won a popularity that can
be based upon one word,—and that a host in itself,—MERIT.
The automobile user of today is well informed before he makes a purchase. The
appearance and apparent running qualities of a car are not now deemed sufficient. Not only is
the previous record of the car desired but the present facilities of the manufacturer must be
known.
The Ford Motor Company stands second to none in the admirable record of its cars and
its equipment for their production. Mr. Henry Ford, vice president and general manager of the
company, a power in himself, is surrounded by a corps of the most efficient designers in the
country. |
The Ford factory is the most modern in existence, controlled by a trained force
long experienced in the manufacture and exploitation of motor cars. Every department of the
automobile business is admirably covered from the first design to the care of customers using
cars.
We enter upon the year of 1905 with the assured feeling that our future will be
but a duplication of our past success. The old saying that "seeing is believing" brings to
us nothing but welcome thoughts, for in placing our new cars before you we invite the most
minute inspection and the most complete comparison.
The automobile which combines to the highest degree the cardinal points of
simplicity, reliability, strength, power and durability is the perfect car. The perfect car
is not yet built, but a careful reading of the detailed description will convince you that
the Ford cars may safely lay claim to more nearly approaching perfection than any other car
ever made. |

THE MODEL B FORD
The Model B Ford for 1905 is a touring car of light weight and great power. From
our experience in automobile building we are enabled to produce a motor of great power and
to build a car of light weight, and at the same time of great strength. The handsome appearance
of this car is only one of the notable features you will find herein described. To produce
such a car at such a price would a few years ago have been impossible. Today our modern
equipment enables us to place before the public in Model B a car which we believe cannot be
duplicated.
The motor is the Ford four-cylinder vertical. Every approved feature known to
the art of motor construction has been utilized, and many features unique in this motor, and
now of proven value, have been introduced. The cylinders and pistons are of the best quality
of cast gray iron, simply made and accurately ground. The crank shaft is a steel drop forging
of ample dimensions, with bearing surfaces ground to gauge. The connecting rods are drop
steel forgings, provided with bearing surfaces of large area, thoroughly babbitted and
provided with the best of oiling facilities. All other shafts and rotating rods are furnished
with the best of bronze bearings. The water jackets are of sheet copper so arranged that
they may be easily removed and yet remain perfectly water tight; an arrangement which cannot
be surpassed.
Among the notable and unique features of the Ford four-cylinder motor the
following are prominent. The crank case, entirely of aluminum, carries in its upper half
all the shaft and rod bearings, thus allowing the lower half to be removed with ease, even
when the motor is running. The upper half bears the motor supports, which rest directly upon
the side frames of the car. |
The valve cam shaft runs parallel to the line of the crank shaft, being thoroughly
protected and constantly lubricated by the oil splash. The valve cams arc most accurately
made and thoroughly hardened.
The simplicity and convenience of the commutator or make and break system deserves
especial mention. Running vertically at right angles to the cam shaft at its rear end and
geared to it by spiral gears is the commutator shaft. At the upper end of the commutator
shaft, near the top of the dash, is placed a commutator of marked simplicity. The gearing
for this shaft is thus perfectly protected and the commutator placed in a position within
easy reach and sight of the driver. The convenience of this arrangement cannot be over stated.
The commutator is on the principal of the armature and revolving brush being
absolutely simple and automatically freed from dust and oil.
The water circulation is simple and effective, the point worthy of particular
mention being the simplicity of the geared pump which is connected directly with the cam shaft.
The inlet and exhaust valves are separately actuated and are provided with a
simple means of adjustment for wear. The valves are readily removed by taking out the
threaded plug in the valve chamber and a pin in the valve.
The oiling system is a marvel of simplicity, consisting of a reservoir of ample
capacity with gauge glass, and a set of sight feed oilers on the dash. The oil is caused
to flow through the sight feed oilers by exhaust pressure, thus causing the oil to be
supplied more rapidly as the engine increases in speed and the supply to cease when the
motor stops.
No motor has before been designed combining such remarkable durability and
simplicity with so great a ratio of power to weight. |
|
The Ford type of transmission, so successful in the past, has been adapted in
an even more practical form for the greater power of Model B. No other type of speed
controller allows of changes of speed with so little trouble to the operator, or is of
so simple construction.
The transmission, giving two speeds forward and one in reverse, consists
essentially of a train of gears always in mesh, held in a retaining case of several sections,
two friction bands and a series of friction disks. The drive on the high gear is direct,
the gears being locked together, giving the most efficient drive possible. A sliding ring
wedge causes the various sections of the retaining case to be firmly pressed together, a
fiber-lined disk at either side of the retaining case taking the thrust. No more simple,
efficient, or positive arrangement could be devised. On the low gear a friction band holds
a section of the case stationary, thus placing in action a speed reducing train of gears,
from a gear on the motor driven shaft through the transmission gears and case to the driving
shaft. This system has far greater simplicity of control and an efficiency at least equal
to the best slide gear system. The reverse is obtained by the action of a friction band
on a second section of the retaining case which places in action a simple system of
reducing gears, giving to the driving shaft a reverse motion.
The adjustment of all speeds is absolutely simple, consisting of tightening an
adjusting nut in each case. The oiling is equally easy, a charge of grease being introduced
through a small plug in the retaining case.
Every part of the transmission is strong and made to withstand hard service.
All such advantages as are possessed by the slide gear system have been retained with the
addition of far easier control, simpler adjustment and greatly increased durability.
CONTROLLING LEVERS
These are five in number one each for spark and throttle, two for speed
controller and one for the brake.
The throttle lever is placed at the left of the steering post under the steering
wheel and is locked in place by a notched segment.
The spark control lever is similarly placed on the right of the steering post.
A vertical lever at the right of the seat controls, with the least possible
inconvenience to the operator, the high speed and the low speed, the former being engaged
at the extreme forward position of the lever, the latter at the extreme rear position,
the mid position being neutral with the motor disconnected. The reverse foot pedal is on
the foot board before the operator. The brake pedal, which is supplied with a locking
ratchet, is also on the foot board to the right of the reverse pedal.
With the Ford system of control every motion is one which the operator would
instinctively make. It requires little thought. If levers should be applied in opposition
the only possible result would be the stopping of the car or the motor. In addition to its
other features there is the hitherto much neglected feature—SAFETY. |
FRAME
A distinctly great advance in automobile construction is found in the Ford
frame with its application as a driving member. Simple as it may seem to the casual
observer the building of an automobile frame is a complicated and difficult problem never
completely solved until the advent of the Ford flexibly suspended frame and protected
driving shaft. The importance of this point warrants a somewhat full description in order
that the prospective automobile user may thoroughly see the advantages of the Ford
construction and the reasons why others have so far failed.
The requisites of the perfect automobile frame, using the word to include all
between axles and body, are that it should withstand the shocks caused by the weight of
the motor and the weight of the live load as well as the transverse strains due to road
inequalities. It should be so flexible that the most uneven road cannot throw it into a
strained position and yet so rigid that it will transmit the driving power from the rear
axle to the front axle without loss or uneven strain. Its springs should be so made that
they will sustain the load of the motor and its appurtenances firmly and yet without undue
vibration from road shocks, and at the same time give the easiest possible motion to the
part of the car occupied by those who ride. This once attained and frame construction is
perfected.
Among the few things yet approaching perfection in automobile construction is
the Ford frame as can be easily seen from the following description:
|
|
The main frame is of pressed steel built light and strong according to mathematical
beam principles. It will be noted that the motor weight is entirely suspended within the end
limits of the front springs, the rear motor suspension being but a few inches in front of the
rear suspension point of the front spring. This means that practically the entire motor load
is borne by the front springs and the portion of the frame between the front spring ends. The
live weight is supported by the rear member of the frame at points so close to the rear springs
that the frame is practically without strain at this point, the weight being suspended directly
from the spring by a pivot of great strength. The frame is moreover quite narrow, thus giving
it added strength to withstand cross strains. In brief the main frame can be made light because
its construction gives an excess of strength where strength is needed.
The use of the frame as a driving member may be explained briefly as follows, and
those who know of the time worn tale of broken springs may yet take heart for the solution
is now reached.
The rear springs are not used in any sense as driving members. They are full
elliptic in shape which is the most flexible form of spring known and they are used, as
they should be, simply as springs to ease the riders.
Attached, one to each of the outer ends of the rear axle are two strong rods
running diagonally inward and upward to the point where the driving shaft of the speed
controller engages with the driving bevel gear shaft. It is these two rods that transmit
the driving power from the rear axle to the frame through a large globe universal joint
which will be described later. The construction of this globe joint allows the rear axle
and its driving rods to assume any position which the most uneven road may give it and yet
to transmit surely and fully its driving power without causing the dangerous strains to
springs or frame hitherto so common. |
The driving power is then transmitted to the front axle through the front springs,
and here again the perfection of this construction is seen. The driving (or in this case
pulling) member of the front springs must be strong and stiff. To meet this point the front
springs are half-elliptic, this form giving the least amount of side play and enabling the
most direct application of the driving force. The spring is so fastened to the front axle that
its forward section is short and stiff (little resiliency being there required), while the
section to the rear of the front axle is far longer, thus giving a maximum of resiliency where
it is needed-under the motor.
The universal globe joint previously mentioned is a very large globe of steel,
its ample bearing surface giving great strength, and its well babbitted and oiled bearings
insuring freedom from wear. The housing of this globe is firmly fastened to a portion of
the main frame. In the interior of the globe is a rolling device having a square hole for
the admission of the square end of the driving shaft of the speed controller. This square
shaft end does not slide in any way. The rolling mechanism inside the ball connects directly
with the main bevel gear driving shaft, which runs to the rear axle incased throughout its
length in a rigid tube running from the universal globe to the differential gear housing on
the rear axle. The entire mechanism of universal globe, drive shaft and bevel gears is
automatically oiled by a tube from the main oil reservoir.
Thus in the Ford construction have all the requisites of the perfect frame been
successfully met and proven by the most exhaustive tests and thorough trials. |
|
AXLES AND BEVEL DRIVE
The rear axle casing is of the best quality steel tubing thoroughly braced.
The live axles run in ball bearings of the most approved construction. The bevel gear
drive is carefully designed, the gear teeth being specially cut for smooth running, and
thoroughly hardened. The spring supports are placed well towards the axle ends, thus
insuring the strongest support. The oiling of the drive shaft and bevel gears is
automatically done from the main oil reservoir.
The front axle with the knuckle forks is a solid steel drop forging, being
so constructed as to offer the greatest resistance to all strains. The knuckle is of
the best steel provided with a hardened steel bushing, and turning on a large pin of
hardened steel, thus absolutely providing against wear.
BRAKES
The car is equipped with a hub brake of latest pattern on each rear wheel,
actuated by a foot pedal. These brakes are thoroughly protected and are most reliable
and positive in action.
An auxiliary brake is found in the reverse pedal, which can be used for
ordinary purposes if desired.
BODY
The Model B car is fitted with side entrance tonneau body, which has all the
advantages of the tonneau, and in addition, gives easy entry to and exit from the car
directly to the sidewalk. The front seat is divided. The body is very roomy and is painted
and upholstered in the best and most serviceable manner.
MUFFLER
The muffler is of the most simple construction and is extremely silent.
WHEEL BASE
The very long wheel base insures the easiest and most comfortable riding.
LUBRICATION
The most simple system of lubrication known is used in Model B, the main system
automatically oiling every part of the motor, driving shaft, bevel gears and rear axle. |
STEERING
The steering is positive and irreversible, the gear being very easy of
adjustment. The wheel and post are handsomely finished in bright brass and are very strong.
The steering rod connections are supplied with covered and adjustable ball
joints of great strength.
BATTERIES AND COIL
The batteries and induction coil are of the latest and most approved type,
very simple and most conveniently placed. The jump spark ignition system is used.
SPEED CONTROL
No method more easy for the entire control of motor or car speed than the
Ford has ever been devised. A maximum speed of at least 40 miles per hour can be attained
and on the high gear the car can also be run very slowly by throttling.
POWER
The admirable design and Careful construction of the Ford motors enable them
to produce a maximum amount of power. The car being, moreover, light and the losses in
transmission of power to the rear wheels being extremely small, the rated horse power
really understates the power of the car to do work in comparison with other cars of similar
price. The rated horse power of the Ford Model B is twenty.
ACCESSIBILITY
Every part of the car is easily reached and inspected. The sides of the hood
covering the motor can be easily raised and the entire hood is quickly removable. The motor
and its appurtenances are compact. The filling of the gasoline tank under the front seat
and the filling of the water cooling system through the radiator with its fan are too
obviously simple to require special mention. The front mud guards are removable to assist
motor inspection. |

COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
So marked is the simplicity and adaptability of the Ford Model C that it has
proven most popular as a commercial vehicle. It is needless to place before the reader the
great advantages in the delivery of goods to be obtained by the use, in place of animal power,
of the reliable mechanical power supplied by the automobile. The entire country is now
realizing the obvious economies to be thus gained. The requisites for the successful delivery
car are reliability, durability, simplicity, power and economy. A perusal of the foregoing
description of Model C will convince that these qualities are to be found in this car to the
greatest extent.
We recommend most fully our Model C fitted with our delivery top. It is roomy
and convenient and will save you time and money. It is not only an economy but an
advertisement of your up to date methods. Others are taking it up. Your competitor may be
before you.
TO THE DOCTOR
You need not be told the value to you of a few hours saved. Every doctor knows
that, and today thousands have taken advantage of the time and money economies of the
automobile. No longer experimental, the motor car has taken its place among the necessities
of existence.
The Ford stands first and foremost as the ideal doctor's car. With every quality
found in other cars it is conceded to be the easiest riding car of its type known. To the
physician whose steadiness of hand and brain and nerve are all important, this is food for
thought. The Ford stands for economy, reliability and simplicity. Its past successes vouch
for it.
THE FORD MODEL C
The Model C Ford combines all the good features of the popular two cylinder car
of 1904, known as Model A.
It is now well proven that the public demand a medium priced, roomy, light car,
a simple car and one with ample power and minimum motor vibration. The whirlwind of success
brought us by our 1904 Model A is ample proof that it supplied just what is needed. The car
of utility is the one which anyone, knowing little of mechanical construction, can count upon
every day of the year to take him out and bring him back safely, with no trouble and at low
cost. A car that is comfortable for two and ample for four persons. |
That this is to be found in our Model C the hundreds of our 1904 friends will
testify.
The best proof of the success of the 1904 car, is that the most important changes
from it in the Model C are an increase of wheel base and a hood in front, thereby greatly
increasing the appearance of the car and allowing an increased gasoline capacity. The Model
C is in fact a small edition of a touring car with ample power, and greater simplicity and
ease of control.
The reasons for the great popularity of the Ford car may be summed up principally
in the following:
It is powerful, strong and beautiful.
It is absolutely simple to care for and control.
It is hard to break and easy to repair.
It is built of the best of materials and is of the finest workmanship.
It is easy riding, comfortable and free from vibration.
It is practically noiseless.
It is thoroughly tested and sold under guarantee of the most successful motor
car builders in the United States.
It is inexpensive to buy and economical to maintain.
THE MOTOR
The motor is of the water cooled horizontal two cylinder opposed type, giving a
maximum amount of power for its size and weight. The cylinder with its water jacket is cast
in one piece, thus obviating packed joints so likely to leak. The crank shaft is a steel drop
forging with bearing surfaces ground to gauge. The valve cams are hardened and run in oil.
The inlet and exhaust valves are of the same size, both mechanically and separately operated.
They are easily removable by taking out the threaded plug in the valve chamber and removing
the spring seat pin from the valve.
The water cooling system consists of a tank near the motor, a pump on the main
shaft outside the motor, and a radiating coil of ample and increased capacity placed in front
of the hood.
|
|
Every part of the motor is made as well as perfect design and loflg building
experience can make it. The materials are the best obtainable and the machine work of the
highest quality. Every part is interchangeable.
8195; The commutator is a simple arrangement of cam and spring placed on the left side
of the car where it can easily be reached. The jump spark system of ignition is used.
CARBURETOR
A carburetor of the simplest construction and most easy adjustment is used, and
is placed in a convenient place directly under the foot board.
BATTERIES
Two sets of dry cells are used, being placed conveniently on the rear of the
frame. A double throw switch is placed on the right of the driver's seat, allowing the
instant use of either set of cells.
SPARKING COIL
The induction coil is of the best quality and of the vibrator type. It is
conveniently placed under the drivers seat where inspection can easily be given to the wire
connections. |
THE TRANSMISSION
The same well proven device so successful in. the previous model, is used in the
Model C with such improvements as time has shown us would be advantageous. The transmission
consists essentially of a set of gears in a retaining case, two friction bands and a
series of friction disks. The drive on the high gear is direct, no gears rotating, all
being locked together thus giving the most efficient drive possible. A sliding circular
wedge positively and firmly presses together the various sections of the case and the
friction disks. The low gear is the most efficient form known being brought into action
by a friction band which causes a gear on the motor driven shaft to rotate two gears
in the transmission, one of these in turn rotating the gear fixed to the driving sprocket.
The reverse is also actuated by a friction band throwing into action a set of reducing
gears which give a reverse motion to the driving sprocket.
In the Ford transmission the simplest form of slide gear device is far surpassed
as every advantage of the latter is retained and a far greater simplicity, and durability
is obtained.
CONTROLLING LEVERS
The Ford system of driving controls is the most logical in existence. The necessary
motions are few and are instinctively made. A hand lever at the right of the seat controls the high
and low gear. On the foot board are the brake pedal and the reverse pedal and also the foot
lever governing the motor throttle. On the steering post is the small lever controlling the
spark advance. If by any chance an operator should make an error in applying a control no
other result could ensue than the stopping of the car or motor. Thus is safety assured.
THE CHAIN
Especial attention has been given to the quality and strength of the driving chain and
the best roller chain obtainable is used. The chain adjustment is simply made by sliding
back the rear axle, the rear springs always remaining parallel to the frame.
|
|
AXLES
The rear axle is made as strong as possible being reinforced by two trusses. The
differential gear is simple and of the best construction. The front axle is of great
strength, the knuckles and yokes being of the best material to withstand road shock and wear.
BRAKES
The principal brake is placed on a drum on the middle of the rear axle and is absolutely
positive and perfectly reliable. An easy adjustment is provided for taking up wear.
An auxiliary brake is also found in the reverse friction band which can be used in many
cases.
SPRINGS
Perfect comfort in riding is assured by the use of specially designed full
elliptic springs of the greatest resiliency and strength.
BODY
A remarkably roomy tonneau body of handsome design is one of the strong features of the
Ford. The standard color is a beautiful dark green, the finish and upholstering being of
the best and most serviceable quality. The body is entirely separate from the running gear
allowing it, by the removal of a few bolts, to be easily detached if it is ever desired
to thoroughly inspect the working parts of the car.
GASOLINE TANK
The gasoline tank is now placed under the hood where it can be conveniently filled. Its
capacity is greatly increased and its cylindrical form is a marked improvement.
