Many aspects of motor vehicles defy immediate logic. For example top rings wear on the top surface not the bottom. Seven cranks often fail at the flywheel where there is little theoretical bending.
Older books which show diff cw mesh patterns often mildly state “with the cw rotated”. However in a recent book I found this very much emphasised. On a diff with good bearings I cannot see how the pattern would alter whether pinion or cw rotated. Any theories?
Has anyone experimented and what did they notice? I sometimes wonder if it was meant to emphasise the cw pattern rather than the pinion pattern and the editor got confused, but I have now read it in so many places this cannot be the case.
