Greg is right on all counts!

The reason I know this because I was there when Mr. Kelsey told Mrs. hayes
that in order to control what is behind, you have to be able to manipulate
what's up front. 

I have the very best of the electronic controls, and it isn't even close to
being as good as the old KH, or copies thereof.

So, keep this in mind, and appreciate what you have, young fellow.
