Info on automatic transmissions from turbo Rotaries?

As far as I am aware, the only turbo rotary offered with an auto (in the USA) was the FD.
Why go with an auto? You have less gears at your disposal, so keeping the engine in it's powerband becomes a bit more difficult, and you will never have any use for the O/D gear. Even if you were geared low enough to make the O/D useable, O/D in auto's are notorious for being delicate and unable to handle hard use, which is why they shift out of O/D at the slightest load.
