Curious, what do MLD and ALD mean?

Manual Locking differential and Automatic locking differential I presume.


Here are some pictures of a manual locking differential. It uses the newest
Lego differential and some parts from the gear box found in the Super street
sensation car.
I've been thinking about measuring the speed of each wheel using two
Mindstorm angle sensors and locking the differential (using a micro motor
and maybe some pneumatic) when the difference of speed between the two
wheels is greater than it would be when the car makes a turn at its smallest
radius.

(...) Nice design for the manual locking lsd. If you throw an adder-subtractor in there, then you would only need one rotation sensor. The drawback would be added friction in the drivetrain and space. //Henry Chea hchea@kungstorget.nu *S* Göteborg, (...) (24 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
