Yes, except that's not how the jet's controls are arranged.The term "cineston" is a misnomer. That was a specific trademarked model name. I believe GE was the manufacturer, and the controller came out in the 1930s. Any single-handle rotary power/brake controller became generically known as a "cineston" just like a photcopier is a "Xerox machine" and that transparent tape is called "Scotch tape" |
