three on the tree shifting [more scale model research]

[s.e.charles]

speaking of transmissions .... the floor shift was omnipresent until when; around 1941 or so?

but what happens if a rodder has a three speed transmission, and not the means or desire to put the lever on the floor?

for him, the journey may be the destination with no hurried anticipation of getting there.

or maybe his gal likes doing the "slide-over" and sitting next to him on those long drives. kinda hard to feel romantic with a steel shaft between your knees.

i've yet to find the interconnection between the transmission linkage and the two perpendicular stalks which emerge from the steering column mounted shaft connected to the shift lever.

any link to a diagram or help piecing this puzzle together will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

sid
