Ol' Henry didn't believe in dangfool things like water or gas pumps- which was OK as long as the cars were new & weren't pushed too hard. The thermosiphon system lasted til well into the flathead V-8 era-& the early V-8s pretty much ran hot. I remember that '26 had a Boyce Motometer on the radiator-& the guy watched it like a hawk when he drove the T in the summer. T-models just had 2-wheel brakes as well, which made stopping a bit problematical. But since you rarely went much faster than a fast trot, it wasn't that big a deal. A T was better than walking, or riding a horse, but not much. -Sandy G.
