Here is a link to the best explanation of how a differential gear works that I have ever seen. And it's quite old! (like me)

Trout,

One of the ME faculty members had sent me the link to that yesterday and you are right, one of the best explanations I have ever seen, and despite its age, so well done too!! Somebody must have unearthed it recently and it's now making the rounds...but definitely worth a look. Thanks for sharing it here.

Did anyone else happen to notice that almost no one in the machinist clip is wearing safety glasses?
