I'll tell you know because I have to go, they where cone clutches made from paper and leather, picture two ice cream cones over each other, now force them togther, same thing except one cone was leatrher, the other compressed paper.

I had to Google this one

But all I found was a multi-disc wet clutch. Didn't say anything about cones....



edit: found some info on those leather clutches. Way to kill the thread, Roger!

 

Oh Jeez, my mistake, sorry, it was the Model T, doh !

Between its debut in 1908 and its final production in 1927, more than 15 million Model T's, the runaway best-seller of its time, were manufactured. As the world's first genuinely mass-produced car, the Model T, more than any other single car, made the automobile affordable and, with its simple mechanics, provided a car for the masses; and it was not only in the U.S. that it exerted such influence.
Indeed, automotive history is not complete without mention of the Model T. The Model T implemented planetary gear transmission, enabling speed control and shifting of gears by application of the hand brake. This was a breakthrough that rivals the modern automatic transmission in importance. It was infinitely easier to handle than the"cone clutch"systems that caused many problems during that period. Until 1909, a two-pedal system was used, with a lever control for forward and reverse. The Model T introduced a three-pedal system; it had two forward gears with the reverse gear being engaged by the middle pedal.

Who was the first company to include standard air bags in a vehicle here in the US?

No no, stay! Maybe I can stump you

Name me a car that game with *sequential* twin turbos (as opposed to the more common parallel setup). This isn't very tough, someone should get this quickly
