| 3. Exactly as before, - a tremendous advantage to all users, & handy for keeping exactly within, & on, the 20 mile limit. This improved Accelerator is the result of nearly 20 years research, (I have been inventing now for 35 years), & I can claim for it simplicity of construction, very reasonable cost of manufacture, absolute dependability, requires no attention & will not wear out. It is perfectly fool-proof, requires nothing for the driver to do, is controlled by the foot, & is undoubtedly that which every motorist has longed for & hitherto thought impossible to achieve. | ||
