ADJUSTABLE WRENCH 11"

 

-WILLYS BLUEPRINT -
Before considering any Adjustable Wrench, first one needs to know a few things.
Many 11" wrenches fall into the required specifications, for the Willys Tool Kit it's simplified by the following Blue Print which I found in my computer library, this includes when certain additions were required, such as when the Ord. Number was required (June 7th 1945) and when it was stamped. (Jan 10th 1950)
What is interesting is, the jaw opening size was altered from 2-27/32” to 3” and depth from 1-7/16” to 1-1/2”
If you look at the explanations in Notes B and C at the top of the drawing, it perhaps means the opening spec was loosened from a strict 3" ["was"] opening to the range of 2-27/32" to 3" opening, and the depth spec was loosened from a fixed 1-1/2" ["was"] to a range from 1-7/16" to 1-1/2" deep. I think this might have been done to let "or equivalents" pass muster by incorporating and accepting the minor differences in manufacturer's specs for the same basic type of wrench.

This doesn't mean to say that Ford Tool Kits followed the same requirements, so Moore 12 should be considered as it's shown in Ford Tool Kit layouts.


- BILLINGS & SPENCER -


See Note in the Blueprint.
In the late 1920s, the logo was simplified to include only the Billings name plus a "Made in U.S.A." (or "Made U.S.A.") with the B-Triangle logo in the center. Something to consider when looking to purchase a correct time line Billings Wrench.

If you look closely at the "Ford" tool kit posts at the beginning of this sticky, you will see the Adjustable Wrench is a MOORE 12" wrench.
Below are photos of how the MOORE fits the Hub Nut Socket Wrench.
