why varying throttle/ PL sizes in ATR !!!

[stubby1]

HI
the left powerlever in ATR is wider than the right, why so ?
the left engine is the critical one in ATR , does it have anything to do ?
any other aircraft which has its throttles of varying widths, i havent come across any in the few aircraft i have flown.
pl tickle your brains!

appreciate inputs

Hey,

I dont have any experience with the ATR but thought this was quite interesting, done a quick google search to see what I could find.

Understand life?

According to 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams, the meaning to life, the universe and everything is 42.

So this is why the ATR is the ATR42!

Yeah, but what about the ATR72? Is that just a fluke in space time continuum then?
