Biba:  Had to go back & rack my weak 72 year old brain  but here goes.  I 
think that they were called Wilson Pre-selectors. In about 1942-3,  I drove 
a 1938 Terraplane which belonged to a neighbor.  The shifter was on the 
left side of the steering column and  had a gate with  a lever about 11/2" 
high which was moved to the slot for the proper gear & when the clutch was 
depressed the transmission  changed gears. Greatly simplified the process. 
Don't think a very large number of them were put into American cars.
