Mr. Specter. How fast was it possible to accelerate your automobile at that time?
Mr. Greer. Well, it is a very heavy automobile, and it does not pick up too fast on account of the weight. I have never tested to see how many feet I could travel in a second. I have never had any reason to test it to see how much I could travel. But it was in low gear at that time, and that helps you to accelerate a lot faster.
Mr. Specter. Would you characterize it as a very rapid or a rapid acceleration?
Mr. Greer. No.
Mr. Specter. Or how would you characterize it?
Mr. Greer. It is a very smooth car taking off anyway, and I would say it wasn't rapid. It is fairly fast in low gear but not rapid like a light car will be.
Mr. Specter. Does that car have an automatic transmission?
Mr. Greer. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. And what are the varieties of forward speeds in the vehicle?
Mr. Greer. It has a low gear and then it has drive one and drive two. It has two top gears. One has, one probably has, free wheeling more than the other. The other is not a free wheeling gear.
