It has the advantages of minimum weight and fewer parts, and applies the driving force in a direct line to the frame, the same as the two radius rods do. On the other hand, it makes the springs serve a triple purpose, the demands on these for torque and drive transmission and absorption being such that the spring flexibility must be negligible, which makes the car ride hard. In addition, making the springs handle the three widely different actions puts "additional stresses upon them, so that they are more likely to break. On the medium size and larger heavier cars, this construction is not gaining so rapidly. TYPES OF REAR AXLES Classification. Rear axles may be divided into the following classes, distinguished according to the method of carrying the load and taking the drive: the form in which the axle carries both load and drive; the semi-floating form, carrying the drive and a small part of the load, the axle shafts not being removable without removing the wheels; three-quarter floating form, carrying the drive and a small part of the load, the latter being divided between the shaft and its housing, but with the shafts removable; seven-eighths floating form, carrying the drive but not the load, the arrangement of bearings to take the load being such that the wheel hubs do not rest wholly and solely upon the axle-casing end; the full floating form, in which the shaft does nothing but drive, and is removable at will without disturbing the wheel and wheel weight resting on the axle-casing end, which is prolonged for this purpose. The seven-eighths floating type has been developed to meet the need which arose for a floating construction, in which the axle casing did...
