text: Another difference to Detroit Locker seems to be that it Locker may have more evenly spread torque transmission (should be a good thing) among its 'teeh', whereas with cam & pawl no more than 3 or 4 pawls transmit the torque, which makes even the analysys ever more so complex, but OTOH allows some pawls to pick up torque transfer when others slip, giving much smoother characteristic...
text: The other reason may not be so 'fancy'- in a way I percieve them as exact opposite to Torsen/Gleason diffs which try to operate as open diffs yet on account of high worm gear losses provide locking effect; whereas cam & pawl tries to work like a spool and looses efficiency when differential action occurs... actually, if I was to use strong words like Smith, to which I've not earned the right, I'd call Torsen method of operation as abominable, as evidenced by their swithch from MkI to MkII.Another difference to Detroit Locker seems to be that it Locker may have more evenly spread torque transmission (should be a good thing) among its 'teeh', whereas with cam & pawl no more than 3 or 4 pawls transmit the torque, which makes even the analysys ever more so complex, but OTOH allows some pawls to pick up torque transfer when others slip, giving much smoother characteristic...
