Not sure if they had them back then. I think on cars they just had a brake
switch like on truck that the shift linkage on column pushed against when
put in reverse. If you use late model stuff, most modern tranny's have a
switch in them. Think about 67 and up for trucks with manual trans, not sure
on automatics. Some fellas just use a switch under dash and turn off when
done. Seems like I would forget to turn off most times and have people
honking at me. Not waving their whole hand at same time!
