bridge owned by Brunswick county. Picture made March, 1911.
T-Model Sent Ol’ Dobbin To Pasture
Not many are left in this jet
fin floorboarding age who had a
speaking acquaintance with the
1914 T-model Ford variously call
ed Tin Lizzie, Copperhead and
sometimes Jitney.
Those who were not around to
get the feel of this amazing con
traption of nuts, bolts and
wheels plus headaches have miss
ed a day gone beyond reclaim.
She. was a humdinger from stem
to stern, straight fenders fore
and aft with a million rattles be
tween.
But withal, the “T” remains
the symbol of the transitional age
when the family stepped from the
buggy to the automobile leaving
old Dobbin for other chores.
She could be as stubborn as a
precocious mare on a hot day and
had a kick equal to an unbroken
Missouri mule. Many a right arm
went into a sling for weeks, mute
evidence of attempts to get her
to kick off with the crank that
dangled out front beneath the
radiator. They called them T
breaks.
When the copperhead would go,
she was “Baby Doll,” but the
invectives she got when her mind
was on other things. Some said
the contraption was not worthy
of gender, too much like a woman
scorned to be called “she” and
too ornery for the opposite sex.
They say she was the origin
of the piece-work system—a
piece of wire to fix a timer, piece
of a can for radiator cap, piece
of cardboard to plug a busted

Classes will meet Mondays

held on Monday, June 12, from
8:00 a. m. to 9 p. m. with classes

erupted regularly about every
eight minutes, and sailors could
see its fires and smoke from far
out at sea.

But there was one appendage
that always stood out. That was
the copper cover on the radiator.
It was about the only part that
ever got a scrubbing and was
the source of the “copperhead”
name.
Beneath the steering wheel
were two levers, gas on the right
and spark at left. Push the spark
lever all the way up, sort of out
of-gear, when cranking, else she
would kick no end. The fellow
at the crank soon learned to lay
his thumb along the index fin
ger. Below were three pedals,
brake at right, reverse in the
middle aid a combination high
and low at left. To take off,
you’d fo) ce the left pedal down
with all your might and, after
gaining momentum, you’d jerk
the foot off and let her snap
back into high. Half way between

for braking so the transmission

Original equipment—just three
pieces: a jack that required the
jacker to take the prone position
to get it under the axle, a kind
of monkey wrench—the finest
knuckle buster ever made, and
a pair of pliers, a handy gadget
for sure. When you’d set the
pliers for a small tap, they’d glide
into the large tap slot with the
greatest of ease.
Lights would burn in con

Auspicious numbers bring a high
