The Center Control 



By R. E, Olds, Designer 



Nearly every builder of high-grade cars 

 is designing a center control. 



In another year, cars with side levers 

 which block a front door will be so out-of- 

 date as to hardly be salable. 



Bear this in mind in selecting a car. The 

 side lever ear is now a back number, as 

 every niaker knows. 



Left Side Drive 



In some cars the side levers are merely 

 moved to the center. That idea won't do. 

 Men want to get rid of the reaching. They 

 want the front of the car to be clear. 



In Reo the Fifth there is only one lever, 

 and that is placed close to the seat. All the 

 gear shifting is done by moving this lever 

 only three inches in each of four directions. 



There are no brake levers, for both the 

 brakes are operated by foot pedals. 



This arrangement permits of the left side 

 diive, as in electric cars. The driver sits 

 close to the cars wliich he passes. He is on 

 the uj) side of the road. In making any 

 turn wliich crosses a road he is sitting 

 where he can look back. 



That is the greatest reason for the center 

 control — to permit of the left side drive.
