Hi, Dodie
I blew up another picture that had the steering wheel in it so that the feature you inquire about is clearly shown. It's not the best picture but it was blown up quite a bit.
My guess is that feature is some sort of spark advance for the engine.

Looking at the feature some more, Dodie, I also think the throttle control is part of that.

Thanks a lot for taking time to comment. I concur with you about the restoration. It's as good as any I've ever seen...and I have seen many, many of them.

A person sure had to know what they were doing in order to drive 15mph way back then...

Thank you very much!! Yes, that is what I thought as well but with there being 2 levers I'm wondering what the other does. I also wondered if there were markings indicating positions or something else. These autos were way before my time so I don't know what all the knobs, levers, pedals and switches do.
Thank you for doing that for me!!

That would make sense. The pedals are probably brake and clutch so there would have to be something else for throttle!!
Thank you, again for that blow up!!

Nice photos of that gorgeous car!! Do you happen to have one of the steering wheel? I am trying to see what that half circle item is.

I'm pretty sure it's to retard the timing when cranking.

Good point, Joe. If a person wasn't somewhat mechanically inclined, they ere better off staying with horses.
