Re: Banger posi traction
Richard Scaldwell drives a JAP powered Edwardian car with a rear end that does not have a differential. He gets around just fine. Of course, most of the time he is drifting around the corners.
Here is an interview with him and after that a link to an article about him at The Old Motor.
In The Old Motor article there is a shot of the rear axle which is nothing more that a straight shaft with chain sprockets. Gear change is accomplished by dog clutches for the various chains.
