1923 Pierce Arrow truck

Doesn't look like it.  The electric system is Delco.  Curiously, the battery cable on the truck goes directly to the starter mooter and I can't find a switch in the circuit; just wondering how the starter is energized.

Here are some more schematics.  The two earlier ones were wrong car.

Thanks again, Larry.  The above diagrams show a starting switch in the circuit, this may be only schematic as I don't find one in my truck.  I'm thinking the start switch must be internal, in the starter motor housing.  I'll pull the starter nxt wk and further investigate.

Recheck pictures.  I added some more schematics.

Ah, Ha; According to the literature the starter switch is energized when the mechanical linkage is engaged, that explains why I could find no exterior switch.  Also helpful was the data on the fuse size and the fact that the system is positive grounded.  Thanks again for your research.
