Had another chat with Ralph Hooper earlier this week. He remarked that while he had remembered nothing that made him think other than the lever just happened to be put inside the throttle (on the basis that there was nothing to make one put it outside) he said if you were looking for a reason today then how about "Throttles are instinctive things but setting the nozzle angle needed a scale alongside the lever and that would be easier to read on the inside"
