How should progressive linkage work on a three-carburetor Flathead?

Ed will hook the two end carburetors back up with progressive linkage. The engine runs on the center carburetor until you get to maybe a third throttle or so, then the end ones open up. He compares it to a Tri-Power on a newer car, and says it will start in the morning without messing around.
