FWIW: Ad-free YouTube is $15.99/mo; I find myself watching it more
than the other streaming services.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for that link Bob. The overdrive
story was most interesting despite the prostrate, bowel
& fat belly ads I had to edit thru.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is quite coincidental that I have
recently composed an article entitled the "Disappearing
automatic overdrive" about this very same topic which will
be published in an upcoming <em>Austin-Healey Magazine</em>
in 2027.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also discussed the advent of the
overdrive and compared the Borg-Warner unit to the Laycock
and summarized the story with todays automatic overdrives.
How weird is that? I was unaware of the youtube story until
you sent it but was pleased to see that my article, and this
one, agreed as to the actual history. Overdrives forever!
