My last controller was a pure electric - called a 'timed' controller, that
provides the trailer brake voltage slowly from low to high. Useless in
a panic stop, overheats at stoplights, cheap. Had a big panic button
and a large timing selector. Couldn't tell you the name - burned
it in a campfire after coming down the Cajon Pass for the first time.
