Wilcox-crittenden Throttle Control, C.1965 on 2040-parts.com
Palmyra, New Jersey, United States
|
Motorboat throttle control from 1960s. Bronze, brass, chromed brass. Indexed quadrant with 1/4-20 female threads - you must make an adapter (simple piece of brass) to accommodate modern 1/4-28 Morse-type '33C' cables, but other than that it's entirely usable for any small powerboat. Would look exceptionally good on an old Lyman, Chris Craft, Elco houseboat, any boat with a wooden dashboard in which to mount the throttle. Very rare, very desirable. Beautiful, never-installed, essentially new from leftover Sea Scamp inventory. No mounting hardware (use chromed, SS, or bronze screws).
I hate to part with this but I'm no longer building the boat I'd have used it on. This part is essentially irreplaceable - you won't find one in as-new condition anywhere! I am in the boating trade and priced this reasonably based on what I know of antique and new-old-stock parts, of which I have many more. Please put this lovely old part to good use! |

Hongik University's transportation design process
Mon, 22 Jun 2009Hongik University in Seoul, Korea, is one of the preeminent design schools in the country with a diverse range of programs. But the school's transportation design department has also developed a unique approach for concept ideation. At the International Transportation Design Forum in Pforzheim, Germany, Professor Joo Hyun Chung from the school's Transportation Design course gave Car Design News an exclusive insight into the process, explaining how students express their ideas into 3D surfaces directly, using materials such as paper and wire for the first exploration of the form rather than the traditional 2D to 3D process.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class concept
Wed, 13 Apr 2011The A-Class concept from Mercedes-Benz is set to make its debut at both the Shanghai and New York auto shows later this month. A distinctively aggressive development over the outgoing model, the A-Class concept is said to draw on the 'defined edges and free interplay of surfaces' first demonstrated with the F800 Style. The taught muscularity of other Mercedes models is also translated onto the show car.
Drayson Racing set new electric car speed record
Wed, 26 Jun 2013Lord Paul Drayson (pictured) celebrating a new electric car land speed record Last month we reported that Lord Paul Drayson’s Drayson Racing were plotting an attack on the world land speed record for an electric car. And they’ve cracked it. In a two-way run at Elvington, Yorkshire, Lord Paul Drayson – Drayson Racing’s CEO and former science minister – was behind the wheel of the Drayson B12 69/EV as it completed two mile long runs in the space of an hour to record an average – and new World Record (for its class) – of 204.185mph.
