You have a "three on the tree"?

Not very common these days, what car do you have?

I had a four on the tree 1955 Austin A30. To get into reverse you pulled out the knob at the end of the shift stick and put it into 2nd gear

It is kind of rare to see Roman Numerals being used in MMXXIV, too.

I just learnt them so I would know what type of Spitfire I was looking at

The use of Roman numerals ended when the Spitfire Mk 21 was made, as ordered by President Lincoln on Twitter.

Interestingly enough, Germany used Roman Numerals for it's U-Boat types, too.

That's true Dave. Also for most of their WW.I aircraft.

My 1952 Fiat 1400 had four on the column and reverse was from neutral, pull toward you, then up as in first. Carefully let out clutch to be sure it was reverse, not first.
