I can't speak for Roscoe, but I don't think you'd get an extract of such info from the museum's files without paying a research fee.

What I was looking for is how the factory coded for manual shift transmission on the Seniors, when Twin Ultra (GS) was standard equipment. Since manual shift was standard equipment on Clippers, their production orders would only show OD and only when the optional ovedrive were ordered.

I suppose there would be an MS in the string of characters - followed immediately by OD, if overdrive was specified. Of course, that doesn't tell us the full story - how they presented and priced it to dealers for ordering.
