If you had a device such as the ones shown in the picture, what would you possibly do with it? In early-made motorcars, these devices would be installed next to the driver's seats. What ten-letter word describes the reason for this?
Highlight below for answer:
Whip holders; This is an example of a skeuomorph - though whips obviously held no use on mechanically run motor cars, manufacturers still installed them, as earlier, horse-lead wagons required the holders [so that the riders could whip their horses]. They were reluctant to alter this design until later.
