Re: cranking RE: NO LBC! Just a link to a time waster

Ah yes, cranks.   My dad had a 1957 Hillman Husky, which I think had a 
flathead 4 cylinder,  and it too, came with a crank.  I tried it once to see 
if it worked - it did and I was not injured!  That car if I remember was the 
slowest gasoline powered vehicle that I have ever driven.  It had a four 
speed with which you had to try to wring the most out of each gear to get 
moving at a reasonable speed.  When we lived in the Mid-Hudson area of New 
York State,  I remember driving down the Taconic Parkway floorboarded and not 
being able to go much over 65!
