Can you supply a bit more information on where you found or read the switch description?

There are several switches in the new for 41 Electromatic clutch option and one is named an accelerator switch. There are also 3 solenoids that are part of the 1941 control valve which are operated by the different switches. The accelerator switch prevents one of the solenoids from working unless the accelerator is fully relaxed. Nothing in the Electromatic unit has the specific name of "switch accelerator solenoid" though and none of the solenoids are named an accelerator solenoid.

If not part of the Electromatic Clutch option, in 41 Clippers and most if not all 42 Packard models pushing on the accelerator pedal will activate a switch on the carburetor to bring in the starter solenoid and start the car.
