And I just now noticed that reverser #1 (you can read it) is sprung way up in the air above the seat cushion. That's what happens when the reverser sleeve leaves, I found out one dark night out of JFK. So: three knobs in the foreground say "1" on them (at thrust lever Idle postition) and one knob says "2" on it (in the background behind the mike cord against the engine instruments.) Not drawing any conclusions, and I may be wrong about the trim motion from 18 years ago.
Somebody go flying and tell me how they rotate.
These are all just clues for us.

(and I'd like to know what happens during an engine separation, never had one; do the cables just shear or do they move the throttles? What happened to the pilot that lost one over Michigan? Maybe someone can ask him?)
