I can tell you for sure that 1968 & 1969 Cessna 172's were equipped with alternators
and a push-pull master switch AND no over-voltage protection.  Don't forget
that the alternator ground is part of the charging circuit.

    Good data point. Thanks!  I'm going to the
    Textron Electronics Lab Thanksgiving lunch
    next week. I'll get into the archives and
    see what the evolutionary steps were that
    lead up to the full changeover to alternators,
    rocker switches and ov protection.

    Did those aircraft still have fuses?

My 1969 Cessna 172 has only non-resetable circuit breakers.  The only fuses in
the electrical system are mounted on the engine side of the firewall which power
the clock and another fuse for the optional ground service plug contactor,
if one is installed.
