From Gary Van Dyken:

For Bill Chalmers' memorial the location is the Hamilton Golf and Country Club, 232 Golf Links Rd., Ancaster, On., L9G 2N5 from 1 pm to 5pm, January 12. Bill was a wonderful fellow and we shall miss him dearly with his soft spoken humorous comments and a slow wink of his eye.

There's a company in Australia I corresponded with--www.vinwire.com.au
I wasn't doing a full restoration so decided to make do with what I had. They list a 1915 model 79 pattern, which is wrong, but they compared their pattern to a model 79 wiring diagram and felt it was the same.
