Larry, Tigers,

Although it is common for people to call the device a "hand brake", I'd be 
willing

to bet you that no American automobile manufacturer has referred to this device 
as

anything other than a "Parking Brake" since the first consumer liability suit.

My Sunbeam 260 Owner's Handbook, on the other hand, does call it a "handbrake",
while my 1966 Mustang Shop Manual refers only to a "Parking Brake".  Guess the
liability laws in England aren't like the U.S.
