...power-vacuum gear-shifter called the "electric hand." Attached to the steering column directly under the wheel is an instrument connected with magnets on the transmission. A flip of the ringer selects the desired shift. Then, when the clutch is depressed, a mechanism on the transmission, actuated by the manifold vacuum, shifts the gears. If an optional automatic clutch is used, the shift occurs when the foot is raised from the accelerator. Thus in traffic the "electric hand" may be set at second speed before a shift is necessary, the shift being made later by depressing the clutch pedal...
