Zephyr gears: First and second gears from a Lincoln Zephyr transmission could be fitted into a Ford or Mercury transmission and were popular because of their lower gear ratios (higher gears). A roadster that would do 40mph in first and 7Omph in second could achieve probably 60mph in first and 90mph in second with Zephyr gears fitted.
