   Pushing a button on the shift control preselected the chosen gear. The electrical circuit was closed only after the driver fully depressed the clutch pedal. This energized the appropriate transmission mounted solenoids necessary for returning the transmission to neutral and then completing engagement of the preselected gear.

   Because it is fitted with a rear pump, the Corvair Powerglide was one of the last U.S.-built automatic transmissions that allowed the car to be push-started. Due to the rear-mounted engine, the differential lies between the transmission and engine , so drive to the transmission from the engine is carried forward via a hollow turbine shaft from ...

   This was followed in 1937 by the Oldsmobile Automatic Safety Transmission. Similar in operation to the REO Self-Shifter, the Automatic Safety Transmission shifted automatically between the two gear ratios available in the "Low" and "High" ranges and the clutch pedal was required for standing starts. It used a planetary gearset.

7. Turboglide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboglide

   The basis of the Turboglide's unique abilities was its five-element torque converter.Most automatic transmissions have a three-element torque converter, consisting of an impeller (an engine-driven pump); a turbine that rotates with the flywheel; a transmission-driven turbine that receives the energy of the oil propelled by the impeller, and a stator that redirects the recirculating oil so that ...
