I'm putting the Blue Funk's (see my signature) horn back together and am attempting to understand its workings.

When the horn button is depressed, it causes a plate to push a spring loaded contact point against the steering column, completing the circuit... right?

Is this diagram correct?

Thanks for the diagram, Joe.

I added to the previous illustration with a question, incorporating an excerpt from your diagram: Specifically, is the circuit completed at the point where the end of the spring meets the edge of the steering wheel mast?

Yes Davey, the wire is hot all the way from the ammeter thru the
horn and right up to the ring on the mast jacket bearing and thru
the spring loaded sliding contact. You are simply shorting it out
at the steering column thus completing the circuit.
