I don't think so - no. There's no turning back the clock here. Prior to the "big change" Boeing was one of the last survivors of the huge industrial boom that followed world war 2. It's difficult to overstate how

I'm thinking this is someone's daydream... or a way to make a cheap, simple, but cumbersome and imprecise shift mechanism. I can't see it being a practical product or feature of one.
