Re: IML: remember when...

[Brad Hogg <luxoliner@xxxxxxx>]

I still find myself referring to the pedal as the "throttle".  I dunno why 
but I guess it's more universal.  There's no foot feed on a motorcycle and 
there's no GAS pedal on a diesel vehicle.  Throttle seems to always work for 
me.

It wasn't always a foot feed or even a pedal. There were cars in the teen's 
and 20's that used a "hand throttle". My 1948 model from FMC has one of 
these, but only to control the fast idle during warm up.

I guess I know what group this puts me in. I remember all of these except 
"foot feed". I've always called it the "gas pedal".
  My dad had a car with running boards that I rode on a few times.
