Re: R1/9 acceleration (Re: What is the mechanical condition of the Low V?)

BTC got tired of replacing limit relays in the late 1940's. PCCs that are run a lot in switch would burn the contacts on the limit relay. BTC's solution was to take the switch notch out of the master controller. It's still there electrically, but you have to be able to find it. Standard practice is to depress the power pedal half way and release it when the car reaches the desired speed.
