== Usage in other vehicles == {{see also|Truck#Drivetrain}} Other notable uses for semi-automatic transmissions include: * During the 1940s to 1960s, many small diesel [[shunting locomotive]]s used [[Epicyclic gearing|epicyclic]] semi-automatic transmissions. For example, the [[British Rail Class 03]] and [[British Rail Class 04]] used the [[Wilson-Drewry]] CA5 R7 transmission.<ref name=BMRG1>{{cite web| url= http://www.barrowmoremrg.co.uk/BRBDocuments/Locos/Book_No_120_web.pdf| title=Vehicle Diagram Book No. 120 for shunting diesel locomotives| publisher=BRB Residuary |website=barrowmoremrg.co.uk| access-date=2 July 2021}}</ref> * The Sinclair S.S.S.
