FEELING THE STARTING HANDLE
sequently, this “ feeling of the starting handle ” is a
very good safeguard against the possibility of personal
injury or damage to property through starting up the
car with a gear in mesh.
To the motorist who is not accustomed to taking
either of the main precautions alluded to it may seem
rather grandmotherly advice. Think not so, however;
very little practice will soon make the observation,
either by feel or by look, of the change-speed lever
pcsition a synchronous act with that of switching on
or setting the throttle lever in position; in short, when
once acquired, it becomes an instinctive habit and
takes neither time nor trouble, whilst providing a fund
of safety against the possibility of a nasty accident.
