Smitty, Have you noticed the ad for the Quincy Visumatic throttle in the Boat Sport copy.
I don't know if that name is a take off of the popular TV ads for the Vega-matic or not.
Easily the best throttle of it's day; QW sold thousands of them.
That was how the Christner kids made their spending money; assembling throttles.
Nearly everyone who ever worked at QW built a throttle or two.
Also the exhaust manifold for the 2 cyl. motors was a popular item as well.
Far more were sold to the general public than to racers.
This manifold had a cover plate that could be added or removed in no time at all.
There was even a cute little option of twin chrome pipes. The prototype was made with tubes from Mrs. Christner's vacuum cleaner.
Rumor has it Chris slept in the dog house for quite a while over that one!
