Bzzt! Not a misnomer, just archaic. One of the few things still on my hulk
of a MG Hillclimb Special are the pedals. The throttle is in the middle &
high, and the brake is right & low. The two are angled so that they are
in-line. You place the bottom of your right foot on the brake, angle it
a bit to the left, and top of your foot falls directly on the throttle.
Now, you're ready for the constant pedal dance to the top of the hill.
