Schwinn Yellow Band 2-Speed

[ptg333]

What year did Schwinn introduce the Yellow Band 2-Speed?

I will say 1965, but I haven't been able to prove it yet.

@AS-1 I used the Way Back Machine (https://web.archive.org/) to access Tom Findley's old site and found the Bendix brochure shown below (it seems he may have scanned the first two pages at a lower resolution). Looks like the yellow and blue band 2-speed automatics were produced as early as January 1965, and the red band 2-speed automatics were produced from 1960-1964.
