Lincoln patented the first lever grease gun to work with a full stroke operation called the Model 1242. This meant that a hand-held grease gun could generate up to 10,000 lbf/in² (70 MPa) of pressure. Operators of the unit could push grease into blocked or "frozen" fittings and the unit allowed for work in confined areas.
The M3 was commonly referred to as the "Grease Gun" or simply "the Greaser", owing to its visual similarity to the mechanic's tool. [13] The M3 was intended as a replacement for the Thompson, and began to enter frontline service in mid-1944. By late 1944, the M3A1 variant was introduced, which also saw use in the Korean War and later conflicts.
Grease fitting on a bearing A grease nipple on the driver's door of a 1956 VW Beetle. A grease fitting, grease nipple, Zerk fitting, grease zerk, Alemite fitting, or divit is a metal fitting used in mechanical systems to feed lubricants, usually lubricating grease, into a bearing under moderate to high pressure using a grease gun.
A grease gun (pneumatic) A grease gun is a common workshop and garage tool used for lubrication. The purpose of the grease gun is to apply lubricant through an aperture to a specific point, usually from a grease cartridge to a grease fitting or 'nipple'. The channels behind the grease nipple lead to where the lubrication is needed.
In 1932 Lincoln offered for the first time a 447.9 cubic inch (7.3 L) L-head V-12 with a seven-main bearing crankshaft and 150 hp. The K-Series was previously available only with a developed version (bored out to 384 cubic inches (6.3 L) in 1928 and uprated to 125 hp for 1932) of the 60° V-8 which first saw duty in the 1920 Lincoln L-Series.
Each bank of a V12 engine essentially functions as a straight-six engine, which by itself has perfect primary and secondary engine balance.A four-stroke V12 engine has even firing order at V-angles of 60, 120, or 180 degrees [1] [unreliable source] Many V12 engines use a V-angle of 60 degrees between the two banks of cylinders.

A true grease consists of an oil or other fluid lubricant that is mixed with a thickener, typically a soap, to form a solid or semisolid. [1] Greases are usually shear-thinning or pseudo-plastic fluids, which means that the viscosity of the fluid is reduced under shear stress.
Ford Motor Company's Lincoln division has produced three distinct Lincoln V12 engines: 1932–1942 L-heads: 1932–1933 Lincoln L-head V12 engine;
