Re: 39 Packard OD solenoid

On the OD solenoid mounted on the left side of the OD, there are two terminals, one with a heavier wire and one lighter.

Per the Packard Training Program manual for the OD, there are two windings, the lighter one is the "Hold-In" coil and the heavier winding is the "Pull-In" coil.

This to me indicates that the "Hold-In" coil is the coil that the kickdown switch disables?
If that is correct, how does the "Pull-In" coil get energized?
I don't see a governor switch anywhere

Thanks
