Forces and Torques on Hotchkiss Drive

• The springs besides taking weight of the body, also take the torque reaction, driving thrust 
  and the side thrust

• The driving thrust is transmitted to the frame by the front half of the springs

• Torque reaction is taken up by the springs

• Side thrust is taken by the leaf springs

• During the up and down movements of the rear axle, variation in the length of the propeller
  shaft is compensated by Sliding joint.
