[Vwdiesel] Early automatics

[Sandy Cameron]

Bill, as a pre-teen, I remember sitting in a late 30's Hudson (Terraplane?)
which had a protrusion on the right side of the steering column, with a 4
position switch, like a mini-gearshift, in an "H" pattern.

I don't remember if there was a clutch pedal.

It was obviously some kind of electric shift, and I remember trying to look
at the transmission to see how it worked. Failed, as it was parked in the
weeds for the duration of WW2 and not operating.
