YOU WERE COMMENTING ON THE MODEL T AND THAT SOMETIMES WHILE GOING UP HILLS
THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO UP BACKWARDS. THE REASON FOR THAT WAS THAT THE GAS
TANK WAS LOCATED JUST BELOW THE WINDSHIELD AND IT WAS GRAVITY FLOW SYSTEM.
WHEN GOING UP A STEEP HILL THE ANGLE WAS SUCH THAT THE GASOLINE DID NOT
FLOW TO THE ENGINE, BUT IF THEY WENT UP BACKWARDS THE TANK WOULD BE AT
A DIFFERENT ANGLE AND THE FLOW WOULD BE OK. I REMEMBER MY GRANDFATHER
TELLING ME ABOUT THAT.
