1968 Ford Escort RS Mk1 of entrant nr 36 at Dutch Paradigit-ELE rally driver: Wim Luijbregts, co-driver: Wouter Bakker The Watt's linkage was invented by James Watt (19 January 1736 – 25 August 1819), originally for use in steam engines. The Watt's linkage is used in the rear axle of some car suspensions to prevent relative sideways motion between the axle and body of the car or to prevent axle movement in the longitudinal direction of racing cars. It consists of two horizontal rods of equal length mounted at each side of the chassis. In between these two rods, a short vertical bar is connected. The center of this short vertical rod – the point which is constrained in a straight line motion - is mounted to the center of the axle. All pivoting points are free to rotate in a vertical plane.
