<VV> 4Speed Powerglide?

[kwoodke at comcast.net]

Alright, I waited to see if anyone else would mention this and as no one has here goes. A couple weeks a go I was watching "Muscle Cars" on "Spike" and in between welding and grinding on various things they followed a group of 4 or 5 Pontiacs built and raced by a now deceased famous Pontiac guy. The name was known to me (but now forgotten). Arnie (The Farmer) Beswick maybe?  His family was selling his collection. His cars were quite dominant in the early and mid '60s. At the auction block they showed the cars and my attention was drawn to an early Tempest wagon (transaxle equipped of course). Yes the bastard cousin to the Vair as my Uncle referred to his. As they moved the camera around and looked into the back, the narrator mentioned the PG had been engineered with a second planetary gear set making for 4 forward speeds! Well that caught my ear. Now I have no idea how this works. Maybe someone out there knows this set up? 
BTW this "guy " was know for his hot 421SuperDuty Pontiacs. That is what was in the  Tempest so this was one stout transaxle.
Alright figure out how this works and report back I can't wait to have a 4 speed auto Vair.

P.S. I tracked down some more info. Actually the same car being sold again. The link should take you to Mecum Auctions. It mentions parts of two PGs being used.
