Without spending too much time explaining this immediate discovery, I’m going to list some of the bizarre wording from 1933 Austin Cars sales booklets and mechnical instructions….. words like :-
Strangler, Choke, Throttle….. Accumulator, Regulator, Commutator. “Don’t be cruel to the Starter” Strainer, Shifting spanner, Banjo, “The strangler knob should be IN all the way”!!!! Naked Lights, “Horn becomes uncertain, giving only a choking sound” Drumming of the Mud Wings, Frictional Characturistics, “a backlash between the Worm and Worm-wheel”
My goodness, with that lot, I could write a novel……………
