Model T"s had the throttle on the steering wheel, along with a manual ignition advance, the wheel brake was a hand lever, and the left pedal (where you'd expect a clutch) operated the bands on a planetary transmission. foot down on the left pedal was low gear, foot up was high gear. the middle pedal is reverse. the rightmost pedal (where you'd expect gas) is a transmission brake. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
