Re: Vacuum wipers and other accessories

After discussion of vauum wipers, I wonder who has had experience with 
vacuum overdrive.  In the days before crise control (60's), some cars had 
an optional electric overdrive (5th gear, achieved by pushing a buttor or 
pressing a lever). When I was doing pre-purchase test-driving, I drove 
one that had a vacuum (aftermarket) overdrive.  It's most distinctive 
feature in the engine bay was a "ball-chain" type affair.  I want one 
now; I should have taken a picture (or at least some notes) then.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?
