> You know, I bet if someone took all the various indicators, switches, >> gauges, and buttons we've all collectively added to our vans and equipped >> one van with all of them, they'd end up with a really cool control panel Does anyone else remember how radical the first beetle and bus "instrument panels" were, compared to the Detroit iron of the times? Only the speedo with a generator light and an oil pressure light! (Oh, yes, the high-beam indicator, too.) American cars of those days had a big panel with a separate volt meter, temp gauge, fuel gauge, etc, etc. We all thought the simplicity was a big advance, not just cheap! Richard Boulder |
