They are both the type of cast iron Brake lever (with locking handle) used on so many vehicles of this type.
And I always referred to them as "brake levers" so as not to confuse you or me! lol

At first I didn't know what anything was on this vehicle, but as I collected original (Autocar) literature
and found a few online videos, I learned just how to start and drive one of these.
Jay Leno's car collection is immense, and his videos are extremely informative.
He owns...and drives regularly...a 1916 Coal Truck that is the 2 Ton Autocar.

That small pedal (under the Brake Pedal) is still a mystery to me...
I'm guessing its the throttle replcement.
Maybe one of the earliest vehicles with a floor "gas pedal"?!

I have a friend in England who owns and drives the British Army Lorry (which I sell a paper model of)
I wonder if his has the floor "gas pedal"?...I'll send him an email.

...
update...okay, the original Autocar DOES have that floor pedal, as does my friend's Army Lorry.
(see the attached photos for proof)
And the Armoured Car (in Ottawa) does have the steering wheel mounted throttle lever (although its a bit bent!).

(I guess it was too small a detail to include on the model? I'm not sure)

So...that small floor pedal is still a mystery.
