CLUM switch Chrysler? Plymouth?


Recommended Posts

Right, and there is a locating tab instead of a bracket

any thoughts of application?

I know....it's been almost a year. I had the information about this the whole time, I just did not know it. The switch is for a 1929 Chrysler Model 65, Model 75 and 80-L.

I got this off the Jalopy Journal if it helps you . Trivia...

The Clum switch co of Milwaukee, Wisc...since 1914.

Made switches for the OX-5 powered airplanes, but there were no keys. On the switch it would read..Off..L...R...Both

They did make switches for the Dodge Brothers co., from 1914 up to 1930. Both light switches and ignition switches. Since your switch reads "Mag" and "GN". then obviously it was the run and kill switch for something that ran with a magneto. (Can't help you there if the Dodge Bro's cars had magneto's. I'm old, but not that old to know!!!!)

Seems like Clum made switches for about anything, or at least they were used for about anything and everything.

The Clum switches were also used in the 1920's and 30's Chris-Craft runabout boats and the Garwood runabouts.

The Clum switch also showed up on the Harley Davidson Topper scooter. It was a on and off switch for the magneto.

Usually on the early light switches they would read DIM...Off...On.. They also had a key in them.

Of course on Evil bay, Clum switches do show up from time to time in for various applications.clear.pngclear.pngclear.png

Clum switches were made for the Dodges through 1932 at least. My book shows that. The switch in question here is a light switch only (not for ignition) that goes at the lower end of the steering column.

John,

just curious,,, what is your source of reference ? I have a Clum catalog that has listings dated Feb 1, 1928 but I show nothing that goes up to 10738. The highest mine goes is 10725 for a Star application.

Actually, I see in my book that Clum switches are used up through 1934....maybe further if I search some more. The book I use is the "National Service Manual". It has LOTS of information in it. The copyright is 1937. Here is the book and a sampling of the information....

There is one of these books on Ebay right now....

Thank you sir...

Off topic:

I've been looking for a wiring diagram for my 1930 DA-124 3/4 ton panel truck.

Do you see any electrical source referencing in there for it by chance ? I've contacted some of the sellers over the last year but no one can seem to answer that question. I would love to purchase one but I need to know if it's what I need first.

I worked at an Electrical/ ignition shop in the 60's. They subscribed to " National Service Manual". That is what allowed us

to be " Specialists" . Unbelievable amount of info in them.

I hate to steal this guys For Sale post , but if you check to see if the charging system has the same parts as a car ,

you should have no problem using a car diagram. Very simple circuits.

Yes, I apologize to the original poster but hard to take advantage of these opportunities when they arise, hopefully you all understand.

As for the car and trucks being the same, my truck has a couple of accessories not on the passenger cars. Interior cargo light and dash lights so I didn't know if that made a difference. I know nothing about electrical and want to get it right...

Thanks John, I've tried Irv, Faxon, Autolit and others but everyone seems to have the same items that do not cover the diagram I need.

Thanks guys, I'll keep searching. I'm sure the info is out there somewhere...

The closed cars sometimes have a dome light and usually have a dash light.

Thanks John.

I went ahead and purchased one of the Data books from 1936 in very rough condition today and if it doesn't have what I'm looking for at least I can look at the pictures...

I figured for $60 it was worth it

Thanks Chris for your understanding.

Check my previous thread:

http://forums.aaca.org/f143/28-truck-wire-diagram-292989.html

this the Clum for my 29 DB truck. Model 889. Has similar terminals but a different mounting.

Is there a reference to this in the Data book?

Dave will send a e mail to you.

Received your email..

That Clum number seems low to me. Are you sure there isn't more to the number ? Shoot me a photo of the back of it if you can or post it here as I think Chris the original poster is ok with that. If you don't feel comfortable with that then maybe start a new thread discussing Clum switches so we can all get some collective help..

Have you contacted any companies that reproduce wiring for antique cars? Rhode Island Red for example...
