Lincoln was the first of the Ford Motor Co line up to use the Borg Warner R10 electric overdrive transmission in 1941 so those cars didn't need the Columbia unit. Those transmissions were set up for torque tube drive so they are a lot longer than the post war Mercury R10 types used beginning in 1949.
