I was looking at some old wiring diagrams for an Overland car in the teens-early 20s, and they were 6v negative ground. *actually the caption at the bottom said "the battery negative is grounded to the starter motor." hope i understood that correctly. The generator manufaturer was Autolite.
If those cars (#2 behind ford early on) truly were neg. ground, I wonder how much influence Delco-Remy or FoMoCo (how were the Ts grounded?) had on industry conventions? or maybe there never was a standard and agricultural products got Delco to save engineering and sourcing costs, so coming from tractors we are merely Delco-blinded?
I've got a Dyke's auto encyclopedia from '29 that may have more clues in it, but there's more to read in there than the Bible!
