Except for describing origen of 4-4-2 name on page 18 (25th overall page)
as
4 speed
4 barrel carburetor and
2 posi traction rear end?

Grew up thinking 2 was for dual exhausts, but have read that some say posi.

What say you CO...

If the '2' denoted Anti-Spin, wouldn't it have followed that it was standsrd equipment on all 4-4-2s? Because it wasn't.
