. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. Figure 60.—The air-cooled, 4-cylinder engine of the 1902 Franklin car was rated at 7 horsepower. The car is right-hand drive and is equipped with a steer- ing wheel. A drag link crosses from the steering-gear box to the left steering knuckle. Two levers are supported on the column below the steering wheel. The right one is for spark control, and the left is for the carburetor throttle located in the vertical part of the intake manifold a foot above the carburetor. A fuel-mixture control handle from the constant-level, float carburetor extends through the floorboard. To its left is a spring-returned pedal for reversing the transmission. A lever at the right of the body shifts the forward gears of the transmission. The central position of the lever is for neutral, the rear position is for low speed, and the forward position is for high speed. Beneath the right side of the floorboard, and extending to the rear of the car, is a long, narrow gasoline tank. The muffler, which extends from the front of the car to the rear, is located in the center of the car, directly to the left of the gasoline tank. 82.
