Do any of you remember your grandparents or other older folks saying, "Step on the foot feed" to get the car moving. Some incorrectly pronounced it "foot feet." Well, that all originated from the hand throttles you guys are discussing "hand feed" and the foot throttles "foot feed". A little language trivia for those interested. These hand feeds are still used on many tractors.

I thought he was trying to say it was the 237th Model A. The hand modeling is probably closer to the truth.
