Re: 39 Packard OD solenoid

I am wondering if the book you are reading might be describing the R9 engagement. Packard switched over to that unit for the 40 models and it has a governor which does close a switch to bring in OD at around 22mph. The governor runs off the same drive setup as the speedo cable.

There are a few pages on the R6 or semi electric ODs in an old Motors Manual. Will scan and post it tomorrow if you don't already have it.
