Ford Model T Controls, 1912
01
Artifact Overview
To modern drivers, the Ford Model T's controls are confusing. There are three foot pedals, but they operate the gearshift mechanism, the reverse gear, and the brake. The throttle is operated by a lever on the right side of the steering wheel. But compared with some cars of its time, the T's controls are straightforward and relatively easy to use.
