Index Entry
Feed:
"Feed is a word people use just as a game they’re playing. What it really means is: taking on energy. . . . In 1946, when the new post-War cars came into Wichita they had the first hydromatic transmission. Jake Butts would buy them for all his kids and one of the Beech workmen said, ‘All you have to do is tromp on the foot feed.’
(This was in the context of RBF talking to EJA about ‘feed’ vs ‘fed in’ at p. 110, 9th line of BRAIN & MIND.)
