On a 1952 Daimler DB18 Special Sports Drop Head Coupe. It worked very simple, the gear was selected by moving the handle in the desired position and when the shift was needed, the shift pedal was pressed. R is reverse, N is neutral, 1 and 2 is first and second gear, T is top gear and O is overdrive. The fluid coupling meant that no difficult (double) clutching was needed.

The white thing is the vacuum modulator (not connected yet), two connection to measure the pressure inside the tranny. The black cable in the middle is an electric cable. The modulator controls the modulation pressure: idle = high vacuum = low modulation pressure; full throttle = low vacuum = high modulation pressure. The modulation pressure controls the other pressures (working pressure, controlling pressure and regulating pressure).

I usually take the long road home.
