God help the man that tries to operate a model T with no prior knowledge or experience. The model A is much easier to operate by intuition since it finally had a sliding gear transmission with a relatively normal clutch. I agree with Brent about getting as much information about them as you can get. A person new to model As would generally ask what the best publications to get are.
A person would be surprised to see what folks will do to self train themselves to operate things with the idea that if someone else does it then I surely can figure it out by myself with no previous knowledge. I assure you that there are easier and safer ways to do it.
