It is somewhat strange, seeing to what an extent standardisation has been carried out in the modern car, that a more uniform system of control has not been adopted. At the present time one frequently sees examples where the design of the control mechanism does not appear to have received that attention which its importance merits. In order to clear various parts of the engine or the chassis, it has been necessary to introduce a multitude of levers, joints and cranked rods, which, no matter how securely they may be fastened in the first instance, are apt to become loose after they have been in use for a time; while the multiplying effect of wear at a large number of pins soon makes itself felt. It is sometimes the practice to use wires for transmitting motion to the various levers, the replacement of which is effected by the aid of springs. This method cannot be recommended, as the seizure of the mechanism which it operates, or the breakage of a spring, may not be discovered until some accident has become imminent. Simplicity should be the keynote of all engine control, whether automatic or mechanical, so that all possibility of trouble from some mechanical defect may be thereby reduced to a minimum. 149.
