Dave, I'm glad to see you're developing an interest in the Model 30, it's only been since a friend of mine obtained the maroon one pictured above that I've gotten the chance to study it and begin to appreciate what an outstanding car it is. The taxable hp is 30 but it probably develops about 60 brake hp and with a roadster weight of perhaps 3300 lbs its a "rocket" to about 55 mph or so.
From the 1910 Model 30 owner's manual are the following images of the chassis layout with the transaxle, and the clutch. The manual has many illustrations and some very detailed instructions about maintenance, engine oiling (combination of splash and overhead drip from a pump-fed reservoir) but no illustration showing that large protruding shield or cover. Next time I down to visit the Model 30 I'll crawl under and take a gander and ask the owner.
