glad that you are 65, hope that you make it to my age.
looked at your link and here is the exert from it. some dumbo even spelled it it wrong there,"Hydro: Automatic transmission ( derived from the name Hydromatic, a GM transmission used in the 50's"
GM made a Hydramatic trans. B & M made have called their adaption a hydro-stick but it was still using a Hydramatic trans by GM. it is a copyrighted name.
I have also had 4 vehicles with hydamatics in them and also worked on them at my place of employment in the 60's
