Class Not Declared in Scope

Getting a "throttle not declared in this scope" error when I attempt to compile the main.cpp. I am very new to c++, so bear with me. I have the #include "throttle.h" in the headers for both cpp files, so I am not sure why when i try to create a throttle object is is not declared...

main.cpp file:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "throttle.h"

using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
throttle throt1(5, 0);
throttle throt2(4, 0);
return 0;
}

throttle.h file:

#ifndef MAIN_SAVITCH_THROTTLE 
#define MAIN_SAVITCH_THROTTLE     

namespace main_savitch_2A
{
class throttle
{
public:
    // CONSTRUCTORS
    //throttle( );
    //throttle(int size);
    throttle(int size = 1, int start = 0); //by adding this default 
                                           //constructor the other two 
                                           //are not needed
    // MODIFICATION MEMBER FUNCTIONS
    void shut_off( ) { position = 0; }
    void shift(int amount);
    // CONSTANT MEMBER FUNCTIONS
    double flow( ) const 
    { 
        return position / double(top_position); 
        }

    bool is_on( ) const 
    { 
        return (position > 0); 
    }

    int get_top_position()const;
    int get_position()const;

    friend bool operator <(const throttle& throt1, const throttle& throt2);
    //postcondtion: returns true if flow of throt1 < flow of throt2. 
    //return false if flow of throt1 > flow of throt2

private:
    int top_position;
    int position;
};
}
#endif

throttle.cpp file :

#include <cassert>     // Provides assert
#include "throttle.h"  // Provides the throttle class definition
using namespace std;   // Allows all Standard Library items to be used

namespace main_savitch_2A
{

//throttle::throttle( )
//{   // A simple on-off throttle
    //top_position = 1;
    //position = 0;
//}

//throttle::throttle(int size)
// Library facilities used: cassert
//{
    //assert(size > 0);
    //top_position = size;
    //position = 0;
//}

throttle::throttle(int size, int start)
{
    assert(size > 0);
    assert(start = 0);
    top_position = size;
    position = start;
}

void throttle::shift(int amount)
{
position += amount;

if (position < 0)
    position = 0;
else if (position > top_position)
    position = top_position;
}

bool operator <(const throttle& throt1, const throttle& throt2)
{
    return(throt1.flow() < throt2.flow());
}

int throttle::get_top_position()const
{
    return top_position;
}

int throttle::get_position()const
{
    return position;

}
}

In your main, it should be main_savitch_2A::throttle throt1(5, 0);.
The same for throt2.

See namespaces for further details.
