You will also notice that the driv-
Ing axle shaft IL not positively con-
nected to either the differential or To
the wheel. The differential end of
the shaft Is square and Is simply
slipped into square hole In its gear.
while the wheel end has forged OF,

you will note, has n number or OIL
sets. which fit into corresponding =
spaces In the wheel hub.
Thus the driving axle shaft simply
drives the wheels and might be said
to float" In its housing 1t Is kept
In place by the wheel hub cap.
Here is something worth knowing.
Should n gear of the differential or
transmission break. so that move
nent of these parts would result in
the ruin OF other parts, the car
equipped with a full-floating axle can
be towed TO garage. by simply pull
ing out the driving axles. This wouio,

q carriage.
1t cannot be done where the car
has live axle, it being necessary, in
this case, to put truck under the
wheels.
Figure gives that portion Of the
semifloating axle which differs from
the full-floating. You will observe
that, while the weight of the car is
taken on the housing. the side thrust
of the wheel is not taken care of by It,
The differential end OF the driving
shaft is the same as for the fulf-float-
ing. but the wheel end has full-fIoat-
II heavy flange, which flange is
bolted to the wheel. Thus the smart

but does not support any OF the
weight of the car.
The shafts can be removed without
dismounting the wheels and without
disturbing the differential, exactly as
with the full-floating.
Figure shows the live axle. In
this the wheel is fastened directly to
the driving shaft in such a way that
the shaft not only carries the weight
Of the car, but also takes care Of the
side thrust. The shaft is also posi-
lively fastened to its gear in the diff

You will observe that in order too

not only to disrnount the wheels but
the entire assembly will have to be
removed from the car. the housing

AUTO LESSON NO. So.
The Rear Axlc Assembly

The rear axle assembly. which in
cludes the rear axle housing, the dris-
Ing axle shafts. the differential. with
its large ring gear and driving pinion,
the brakes and their actuating mech
anism, is variously known as the rear
axle. the rear end. and sometimes,
the final drive.
types Of rear axle assemblies used,
namely. the full-floating. the semi
floating and >he live axle.
The full-floating axle assembly de-
rives its name from the fact that the
driving axle shafts can be removed
without dismounting the wheels and
without disturbing the differentiri.
The driving axle shafts thus are only
used for driving the wheels. They
carry mono Of the weight of the car,
nor do they take care Of any OF the
side thrust resulting from turning cor
ners or travelling on a rough or highly
crowned road. The axle housing does
all this.
The true semi-floating axle, which
is often called the single bearing, fud-
floating, differs from the full-floating
only in that the side thrust OF the
wheels is taken care OF by the driving
axle shafts, the wheel bearings being
such that they will not do this.
might say here that there is much
misunderstanding as to just what the
semifloating axle Is. Some manufav-
turers call the axle as explained above
the semifloating. while others call II
q full-floating; then again, some cali
the live axle n semifloating, while
others call 1t the live axle. Perhaps
this is because the catalogs are writ
ten by men in the advertising de-
partment who know that the public
believes that the full-floating the besr
type and that semifloating axle sounds
better than live axle.
The live axle differs much from the
ull-floating. In II the driving axio

shafts, the wheels must be dismount-

must also be taken apart.
AS some of the highest-priced cars
have the ike axle, 1t is a matter Of
engineering opinion rs to which type

the full-floating will usually be very
much less than for the live axle, be-

ARMIES FIGHT WITH WOLVES
Russians and Germans United To De-
stroy Ferocious Animals

StfOX TtTOClouS Tnhihhstt-
In the course of last winters cam
paign the wolves Of the Polish and
Baltic Prussian stretches had amassed
to such numbers in the Kovno-Wilna-
Minsk district as to become veritable
plague to both Russian and German
fighting forces. So persistent were
the half-starved beasts in their at
tacks on small groups of soldiers that
they became q serious menace even to
fighting men in the trenches. Poison,
rifle fire, hand grenades and even ma
chine guns were successfully tried in
attempts to eradicate the nuisance.
But all to no avail. The wolves-no-
where to be found quite so large and
powerful as in Russia-were desperate
in their hunger and regardless of dam
ger. Fresh packs would appear in
place of those that were killed by
the Russian and German troops.
As last resort, the two adversaries.
with the consent of their commanders
entered into negotiations for an armis-
tice and Joined forces to overcome the
wolf plague. For a short time there
was peace. And In no haphazard FASH
ion was the task Of vanquishing the
mutual foe undertaken. The wolves
were gradually rounded up. and event.
ually several hundred Of them were
killed, The others fled in all direc-
tons. making their escape from earn
age the like OF which they had never
encountered. 1t IL reported that the
soldiers have not been molested again.

plug screwed into the housing. about
three or four inches from the lowest
part, and grease or a heavy oil should
be maintained at such level that IL
will just flow out Of this plug hole.
If Oil or grease gets on to Tire
brakes, even tho the level is right,
then the felt washers. lettered A, will
probably be found to be badly worn
and will need replacing.
Because the driving shaft, when
being inserted, naturally takes <he po-
sition shown in Fig. l, 1T is necessary
to press down on the wheel end OF
the shaft when putting the shaft In.
BY remembering this, what to many
is a difficult and tedious task will
prove easy.
