Maxim had this as far back as 1970, if not earlier.

I was a volley in West Hazleton, PA and they ran a 1961 Maxim 75' mid mount with the tip controls. It was purchased from Spring Garden Twp. in southeast PA. I believe Maxim marketed it as "TopTrol". I only used it a few times, but I remember it being very slow and very bouncy when starting or stopping.
