JUST OPEN THE THROTTLE AND GLIDE AWAY WITH THE (SELF-OPERATING CLUTCH) THIS SELF OPERATING CLUTCH WAS AVAILABLE FROM THE AUTOMATIC DRIVE & TRANSMISSION CO. INC., NEW JERSEY BACK IN 1931. THE ADD READS AS FOLLOWS: You stop your car by one motion-pressing the brake. Why not start it with equal simplicity? With the Self-operating Clutch, just open the throttle, and you're off! Imagine crawling through traffic or crusing all day on the open road, without6 touching the clutch or shifting gears.! Has anybody have or seen one of these???????
