Reverse lockout switches were discontinued on BW od trans. beginning in the early 1950's... your [unit] will work fine without one."

I knew my car didn't have one and that's verified by the book, but I still don't quite understand the function or purpose of the sw. My understanding is the OD was locked out via the governor under speeds of 27mph or so.
THANX! for finding that. I learned something today ...
