| contd :- -3- C The rear suspension of the Lincoln car was remark- ably good throughout its whole range. The 6-cyl. A.C. engine is fitted with an absolutely normal A.C. touring body complete with standard wings and windscreen. The compression ratio of the engine was stated to be 5 to 1. It performed very smoothly throughout its whole range with the exception of a short crankshaft period in the neighbourhood of 40 m.p.h. The acceleration was smooth from 15 m.p.h. on top gear upwards. The car would run steadily down to about 6 or 7 m.p.h. on top gear. The engine is overhead camshaft type and has only a single carburetter, which makes its performance all the more remarkable. The manufacturers claim 20% more power with three carburetters. Attached is a power curve given to the owner by the makers. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/W.A.Robotham. | ||
