ABSTRACT:
An improved mechanism for delivering motive power to the wheel-tire units on a land vehicle, comprising a differential having two operating modes, namely a "locked" mode and an "unlocked" mode. The unlocked mode is used when a tire is punctured; differences in tire diameter incident to tire puncture are effectively compensated. The locked mode is used when the vehicle is traversing slippery terrain; tractive force is maintained under adverse operating conditions.
