That's a common use in the real world.  You can also make mechanical

a picture of a Lego(r) system that takes rotary inputs A and B, and,
with two differentials and a few other gears, produces rotary outputs
(A+B) and (A-B), but I can't find it now.  If you're interested, you
can probably find it in the archives, or I can build one and post
pictures.

I believe the one you are referring to is found at:
http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leo/lego/diff.html

and http://www.phred.org/~alex/lego shows some applications of the
adder/subtractors (one is very close to Leo's design and the uses
the differentials a bit differently and is more efficient for the
purposes of wheeled and tracked vehicles).
