In a series of three tests for speed
and quick get-away conducted by
the Detroit Department of Police on
Oakland boulevard at Dearborn last
Thursday, first place among the field
of ten competitors was awarded to
the Lincoln car.
The tests were made in an effort
of the Police department to secure
a "Flying Squadron" of motor cars
to enlist in the campaign against rob
beries and other crimes of the road.
Quick starting from a dead stop,
rapid acceleration over long and
short distances, and the ease with
which the cars could be handled in
an emergency demanding immediate
ability to get going at race track
speed were covered in a quarter mile,
half mile and two mile tests, two of
which were made from standing
starts.
A large gathering of city officials,
engineers from representative auto
mobile plants, and many spectators
were present. Official 'docking of
the speed was made by stop watches
held by the official referee and by j
jdges in the cars, and cars were alsoj
timed uuu speeuuuitier reauiugii
checked by members of the Detroit
Motor Cycle squad.
The tests called for stock touring
cars earning bIx passengers each.
In the two mile standing start,
quick acceleration test, the Lincoln
finished first, covering the distance
in one minute and forty-nine and
two-fifths seconds, attaining a speed
of eighty miles an hour. The next
nearest competitor covered the dis
tance in one minute fifty-seven and
two-fifths seconds. The slowest time
recorder was two minutes, twenty
three seconds, finishing at a speed of
sixty-two miles an hour.
In the half miles test the Lincoln
again taking first honors, covered the
distance in thirty-eight and two
fifths seconds and finished at a
speed of seventy-three miles an hour.
The nearest competitor covered the
distance in thirty-nine and one-fifth
seconds.
The quarter mile test was made
from a running start of five miles an
hour in intermediate gear. In this
test the winner covered the distance
in twenty-six and three-fifths seconds
while the Lincoln tied for second
place with a time of twenty-six and
four-fifths seconds. The slowest time
in this test was thirty-four and two
fifths seconds.
