      <div>Thanks for that link Bob. The overdrive story was most
        interesting despite the prostrate, bowel & fat belly ads I
        had to edit thru.</div>
      <div> </div>
      <div>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.</div>
      <div> </div>
      <div>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! Hank</div>
