The PowerGlide cues are manufacturered for the British firm, but they won't say where or who makes them. PowerGlide cues are made by PowerGlide, headquartered at GM Operations Centre Trent Lane Colwick Nottingham NG2 4DS PowerGlide is a subsidiary of the Unicorn Group who also own Unicorn Darts and Gunn & Moore brands.
The PowerGlide feature is credited to the General Motors company for it's inception. The PowerGlide is a type of two-speed automatic transmission found on many models.
I have read that the cast iron case added 150 pounds to the Powerglide transmission, and I have also read that the aluminum Powerglide weighs about 95 pounds, complete. I have moved an aluminum Powerglide by hand, and that sounds about right. Based upon these two statements, the cast Iron Powerglide should weigh about 245 pounds...
The shop that rebuilt my '54 Powerglide recommended Dexron III.
The PowerGlide is a very primitive transmision by todays standards. It does not have a Torque Converter clutch. So there is no control for it.
The 1971 Chevrolet Nova with the 250 cid came optional with the Powerglide automatic transmission. The gear ratios on a OE Powerglide are 1.76 in 1st gear, 1.0 in 2nd, and 1.76 in reverse.

No simply put 2 speed powerglide= 2 gears a 700r4 has at least three and some have overdrive.
Chevrolet & Pontiac were the only brands to use to Powerglide. The rear engine Corvair used a modified Powerglide. Pontiac used a similar transmission in the Tempest although it was called a TempesTorque'. Some sources claim Pontiac and Oldsmobile used the older, cast-iron case Powerglide when the Hydromatic transmission plant burned in '53. Most if not all Pontiacs of the '60's and '70's that have a two-speed automatic transmission do NOT have a Powerglide; they have a Turbo-Hydramatic model 300 transmission; also used by Oldsmobile.
