Nope. But interesting concept. I theory, the high risers would improve torque at higher rpm. So, center carb for lower rpm tractability and progressive linkage to open the secondaries above half throttle. Wonder if it worked?

More likely just a way to get three carbs without having to offset the generator.
 
A company by the name of Gottha made weld on conversions kits similar to this for the do it yourself guy. Saved you lots of money compared to buying one of the multi carb aluminum intakes that were available at the time. The also offered a four barrel conversion when done correctly they were really pretty good conversions for the money.

Actually, long intake runners improve torque at LOWER RPM by increasing mixture velocity. You will see long runners on most modern cars to get more power at the slower RPM's from overdrive transmissions.
