In most vehicles w/three speed transmixers from the 1930s forward had
just low (1st) gear "uncynchronised". Intermediate (2nd) and high gears
were synchro so it was easy even for a beginner.
My first semi had a 4 X 4 driver train. That was two 4 speed boxes both
with their own "stick" One box had huge jumps between the ratios. You
began with the sticks on 1/1 then shifted the closer ratio box through
its 4 speeds. Then knock that into neutral whilst shifting the other
box to 2nd gear and the aux into 1st then through its 4 speed again. And
repet for the fional two gears in the main box. It cold get quite busy
in the driver's seat. I learned to shift throught asll the gears one-
handed - much to the amazement of my grandfather who used both hands
while keeping the truck pointed straight with his belly. Bv)=
I still have a box of this - in a display/shadow box frame my friend
Les made for me. Betty Crocker sued the pants off of the tongue-in-
cheek maker of "Betty Trucker". No sense of hum our at all, some folks.
