Re: Overdrive.... Reverse

Overdrives are not my strong suit and I know someone will come along with a better answer, but I believe that overdrives incorporate an overrunning (one way) clutch so that if you want to reverse direction, it must be inactivated. Hence the "reverse lockout circuit" on some of the earlier ODs, like the R-9 I believe.
