Warford overdrives actually were introduced in 1923 and used on TT's; patented in 1926. I have several AA's with Dual High auxiliary transmissions however they are considered underdrives to produce more pulling power and lower speed; the whole point of installing an overdrive is to increase speed. I just bought an early '28 AA which has the Warford overdrive transmission where the normal Dual High would be. Just trying to learn more from those who own one.
