I love those old clips, I've seen many of them. However, shouldn't this really be called differential drive? The differential has nothing to do with steering. :)


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Thank you JJ!

Perhaps it should be called something different, but I am not a car guy. I used the description from Youtube.

What you suggest does sound better!!

I'm not faulting you as you say, you used the name the video does. My comment is more for the guys who put together the film way back when.

If you like those, check out the old Bell Labs movies (external link). I remember these from movie day in school. There are a bunch of them, Mr Sun, Helo the magnificent,

very interesting Charles. Thanks
Those bike riders were impressive.

An excellent demonstration of an old accepted concept

Wonder what advances have been made in design since that?

Didn't want the drive shaft intruding - need a flat floor.
That went out the window in my time.
Front drive obviously excepted :-P
