Tour the Demoiselle
Throttle Toe Clip
On the Demoiselle there were two ways to operate the throttle. One was
the button that was on top of the elevator stick, and the other way was with
this throttle toe clip. This clip would connect to your left shoe, into the
toe. And the wire that you see would go up to a spring-loaded affair which
would connect to the carburetor. And to operate the throttle, it was a little
bit like operating a gas pedal in your car. As you press forward, you go
faster, and as you release, you would go slower.
