  • curprev 01:3801:38, 10 September 2024 Peter's-hillside-home talk contribs 47,838 bytes −68 In the "1950s to 1980s" section, I have deleted the phrase "... which went on to become the most common design for passenger cars." This is a misreading of the fact stated in the cited article, which says that "many" automakers employed this system (without further details). This information is too vague to be conflated to notion that this synchronization mechanism became mainstream. undo
  • curprev 01:3301:33, 10 September 2024 Peter's-hillside-home talk contribs 47,906 bytes +38 From the "1950s to 1980s" section, I have deleted the phrase: "however most cars continued to use non-synchronous transmissions until at least the 1950s." This is not true. A census of period brochures shows the opposite is true: Oakland, Oldsmobile, and Buick adopted synchro gearboxes in 1931; Chevrolet, Packard, Lincoln, Nash, Studebaker, and Hudson adopted them in 1932; all Chrysler divisions (Plymouth, Dodge, De Soto, Chrysler) adopted them in 1935; and Ford division in 1936. undo
