For sale is a 1936 Delco Remy ,Town & Country, 6-Volt, Chevrolet Matched Horn Unit, left behind the the auto parts «collection» of my late father. My husband loves doing the research on my dad’s vintage items, and he found a lot about this set of horns. If you would enjoy having this rare artifact, read the history so you can share some of it when you are showing off these horns! Item: 1936 Delco Remy,Town & Country, 6-Volt, Chevrolet Matched Horn Unit Description: This horn unit is being sold for parts and/or restoration. (The unit will be partially disassembled to protect the projectors; and to optimize your shipping cost!) Inventory Status:Pre-owned Manufacturer:Delco Remy Division of General Motors Corporation, Anderson, Indiana, U.S.A. Part Number: 985139 (?) [Part number 985139 was offered as an accessory on some 1937 Chevrolet models; perhaps carried over from 1936.] This Delco Remy Matched Horn Unit may have been used on other 1935-6 General Motors vehicles. If Buyer decides to restorethis artifact to mount in a vintage car or truck, the Buyer should determine if this horn unit will fit in that vehicle, before purchase. History: This RARE 1936 Delco Remy brand, 6-volt, electro-magnetic (vibrator) Matched Horn Unit was offered as an optional accessory for vintage Chevrolet cars and trucks. The Delco Remy Division of General Motors introduced the dual, matched horn concept to Chevrolet in 1934. Chevy offered their “matched horn units” as a dealer-installed, accessory. The optional, dual horns replaced the lone, Delco Remy brand, Klaxon-style, courtesy horn that Chevy installed at the factory. Initially, dual matched horns featured projector screens, because they were mounted outside the vehicle (under the headlights) on Chevrolet’s 1934 Sedan Delivery and Master models. In 1935, Chevy offered the same optional matched horns beneath the hood of Master Deluxe models. After the horns moved into the engine compartment, projector screens were no longer necessary, and the feature vanished in 1936. Projectors of 1934-36 Chevy matched horns entered the horn housing through 90-degree, brass pipe elbows – a com-ponent common to all 3 model years. (Group 2.811, Part No. 1842897.) The 1936 matched horns were a single assembly, comprised of two horns and the horn relay on a 28-½-inch crossbar. The assembly clamped to the brace bars (or radiator tie rods), in the engine compartment. Because the 1936 crossbar straddled the engine, it required a distinctive, semi-circular relief, to accommodate the engine’s high-rise aircleaner. The dual horns hung below the crossbar, and installation of the unit placed them on the passenger side of the engine compartment. Chevy claimed that their matched horns had a commanding (but pleasing) sound. Each individual horn produced its own distinct tone, with the shorter horn emitting a “high” note; which blended with the “low” note from the longer horn. The tones varied according to the design of the horn di-aphragm, the length of the projector and the tuning. Rarity: Because matching horn units were not factory-installed on stock 1934-9 Chevrolets, many surviving classic cars from the 1930’s era do not have these matching horns — but, you can still install them! Since the matched horn unit was an optional accessory — rather than standard equipment — this unique 1936 Chevy artifact has become an extremely RARE item. It was so RARE, that by 1941, you could no longer purchase this unit from Chevrolet; evidenced by the absence of 1934-8 Matched Horn Units in the 1929-1941 Chevrolet Master Parts Price List (Group 2.810.) At the time of publication, in 1941, the only Matched Horn Units available were for 1939 Chevys; and selected 1940-41 Chevrolet models (Group 2.810). A 1936 Matching Horn Unit can be viewed in Motoexotica’s internet inventory; displayed in a 1936 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Town Sedan. Why Are They Town & Country Horns? A later version (1939) of Chevy’s Matched Horn Units included dealer installation of a 2-position selector switch on the dashboard. The switch allowed drivers to engage a “city” horn (the original Klaxon-style, factory horn) when courtesy “beeps” were appropriate. The switch also selected a “country” horn (or matched horn unit), advertised as a safety feature, for excursions in the countryside. Since vehicles could travel faster on the open road in rural areas, the optional horn was needed to transmit a more forceful warning – one that could be heard at a greater distance. The vintage Matched Horn Units were manufactured and tested on the 3rd floor of Delco Remy’s Plant #1 in Anderson, Indiana; where, it is said, that horns undergoing testing could be heard over a radius of several city blocks! They were very loud! The unique, optional 1939 horn circuit apparently gave rise to the contemporary designation of 1930’s era, matching horn units as “town & country horns.” Note: This 1936 artifact did not have a two-position selector switch; and was not used in conjunction with the factory horn. It replaced the factory horn and is the equivalent of the dual 1939 “country horn” selection — which was heard for “several city blocks.” How They Work:Vibrator horns utilize the field of an electro-magnetic coil. The energized coil magnetically attracts an armature, which is se-cured to a metal diaphragm. The movement of the armature is designed to open a contact set in the primary circuit of the electro-magnetic coil, thus breaking the circuit and de-engergizing the coil. With the magnetic field disrupted, the distorted diaphragm returns to equilibrium, allowing the contact set to close, and starting the cycle over again. The rapid flexing of the vibrating diaphragm produces a very loud and audible tone. The Crossbar: The crossbar of this Unit measures about 28-1/2 inches at the widest point between the outer flanges. A saddle bracket, which supports the horn relay and the horn projectors, is riveted to the crossbar; typical of 1930’s era construction. When attaching the crossbar to the brace bars, pay close attention to good metal-to-metal contact; because this is the ground connection to your horn! Alternatively, you can connect a heavy duty, braided copper ground strap from the crossbar to the body at the firewall. Projector Grommets & Clamps: The rubber projector grommets, with their clamps and mounting hardware appear to be original. The Horn Relay: Appears to be the original, with terminals on three sides of the relay. (Seller supplied new terminal screws.) Seller did not apply power to the horn relay; which should be cleaned, checked for good, clean ground connections, and the contacts dressed, as needed. The resistance of the horn relay coil measured 7.5 ohms. About 1937, Delco Remy replaced this style relay with a new “matched horn relay” (Group 2.815, part no. 1116775). The new design featured the three terminals on the same side of the relay. By 1941, relay #1116775 had become the replacement part for all, optional, 1934-41, Chevy, matched horns. That makes this older version, horn relay a very collectible artifact! Horns are high current devices, which could damage other circuit components, like the horn button or the ignition switch, if routed directly through them. This is because the spark which bridges contact gaps can cause pitting, or even welding, of small contacts. Instead, the high current flowing to the horns is routed through the contacts of the horn relay; and, the ignition switch and horn button operate those contacts by controlling the relay coil in a low currentcircuit. The “H” terminal would be connected to the #10 AWG wire from the short horn. The center terminal is the “B” terminal; which would be connected to the 6-volt power source; probably using stranded, insulated #10 AWG wire. The third terminal is the “S”, or switch, terminal; which would be connected to the horn button circuit; probably using stranded, insulated #14 AWG wire. The»Low” Horn: The “low” horn is missing the backshell and the backshell bracket. Seller did not apply power to the low horn. It is a source of valuable, antique parts; including the brass projector elbow; the 19-inch long projector, including lock nut, clamps and grommets; and other miscellaneous, original components. The»High” Horn: The original horn input wire was compromised and had to be replaced in order to test the horn. The Seller replaced it with insulated, stranded #10 AWG wire, and new ring terminals. A piece of hose was slipped over the wire to protect against rubbing, where the wire enters the horn housing. (The original 6-inch horn wire will be furnished to the Buyer.) The horn was tested on an automotive storage battery, bypassing the horn relay. A 6-volt system was simulated by using a 12-volt battery, with a series resistance, to reduce the voltage. Power was not applied to the horn relay. The horn drew a weak spark, when connecting, which suggests a weak current. The diaphragm made audible sounds, suggesting that the electro-magnet was receiving insufficient current. These observations suggest that the ground connections and points in the horn probably need cleaning. Constructing a 1936 Horn Unit: Salvaged, functioning, 1936 Chevy matched horn units are close to impossible to find. Constructing your own unit from the component parts is possible; but the most difficult item to find is going to be that 1936 Chevrolet crossbar. Delco Remy made horns for many vehicles, and finding a replacement horn is going to be easier than finding an antique, 1936, Chevy crossbar! Servicing Vibrator Horns: Cleaning, inspecting, testing, disassembling, repairing, re-assembly and adjusting of Delco Remy vibrator horns are addressed, in detail, in War Department Technical Manual TM 9-1825A. This manual, published by the War Department, in 1944, is specific to Delco-Remy Equipment. The horns covered there appear to be similar to the factory-installed automobile and truck horns; but the operational portion of the device is still the basic Delco-Remy vibrator horn. TM 9-1825A is available online in the Google archive. See Chapter 6, Section IV, page 285. “Plymouth: The First Decade” (Horn Tune Up) is also a good internet “how to” for servicing vibrator style horns. As a general rule, Delco Remy horns need good ground connections. A good cleaning often solves a lot of problems! The Horn Projectors: The long projector, used for the “Low-Note”, is about 19 inches in length. The short projector, used for the “Hi-Note”, is 15-½ inches in length. The flared ends of the projectors are about 5 inches in diameter. By 1941, there were no matched horn projectors for 1936 matched horn units (Group 2.811). Both projectors on this Matched Horn Unit are removeable. They were designed with pipe threads, that screw into the horn housings; where they are “locked” in place by tightening a hex nut on the pipe threads.
