Ford Feature Governs
Speed of Motor Car
Speed Governors Allows Owner to Set
Maximum Speed -Boon to Parents ,
A new variable speed governor by
which the owner of a car or truck can
set the maximum speed at which the'
vehicle can be driven by merely turn -1
ing a key on the dash is being sup-
plied by Ford • Motor Company of
Canada, Limited, It is being offered;
as optional equipment on all models
at low extra cost.
As a safety device where younger
members of a family are prone to
drive at high speeds this, new gover-
nor is particularly effective, it is
stated. Parents can set the speed at
anything from 30 miles per hour to
the capacity of the car, put the key
hz their pocket. and be certain that
the car will not be driven faster than
desired. The top speed cannot be -
changed without the key.
When used on either cars or trucks
this lock makes a definite contribu-
tion to general highway safety. Fleet
owners can be supplied with one key
to fit the safety locks on the entire'
fleet.
This governor is set by turning the'
key in the lock which is conveniently
located near the throttle and choke on
the dash. By turning the key to the
right maximum speed is increased"
and the setting is lowered by turning•
it to the left. Approximately six•
turns of the key to the right removes:
all governing action and the car cant
then be driven at capacity speeds..
By turning the key in the opposite
direction the speed can be throttled!
down to a top speed as low as 30'
miles per hour. Unlike car door or.
ignition keys, which have to make:
one complete turn before being taken'
out, the governor key can be removed
at any point when the desired setting
has been reached.
This new variable governor is ow.-
erated by the vacuum in the intake.
manifold. As the manifold vacuum r.
decreases when the engine is ,operat-
ing under load, the governor allows
use of full power when steep hills are
being climbed or on other sinular oc-
casions. ;:i•;
