That's interesting, Nick, I didn't know that. Seems like that would mean
that it would not provide torque to the stopped wheel if the other wheel
were completely unloaded ?
Looking at the diagram at
http://www.roadraceengineering.com/quaife.htm
seems like the center spring would provide enough drag between the shafts to
make them turn the same direction ?
