Description |
Cast bronze remote engine throttle or speed control device. D-shaped frame with knurled handle attached using a rivetted pin connector. Handle moves in a vertical arc so an attached rod will operate the engine's integral throttle one or more deck levels below. The handle rotates to provide a friction stop for maintaining a chosen engine speed. The frame incorporates a 1" diameter hole on its lower end threaded to accept a pipe which would act as a stand for this assembly and enclose the control rod on its path to the engine room. |
