shown anybody crank-starting an automobile?  I would think that collectors 
of old cars equip them with starters, because
cranking is so dangerous.  My grandfather explained to me a certain way to 
set the controls on a Model T Ford so that one
could walk up to it, give it a hard kick, and it would start - that would be 
something to see on Boardwalk Empire !

And there is, of course, a related 78 of that vintage...! On Victor (and 
others?) by
Billy Murray, IIRC...!
