This is accomplished by mounting the bear-ings at the inner ends of the shafts on the ends of thedifferential hubs (D), instead of on the driving Fig. 6—Semi-Floating Axle Thus the inner ends or halves of the driving shafts maybe said to be free or floating where attached to the differ-ential and hence semi-floating. Three-Quarter-Floating Axles In the three-quarter-floating axles (Fig. 7), the innerends of shafts (S) are secured in the differential (D) andthe bearings are mounted on the hubs of the differentials,as in the semi-floating type. The wheel bearings are re-moved from the shafts, however, and mounted on tubeswhich are extensions of the housing (H). The wheel hubsare mounted on the outside of the bearings, the entireweight being carried by the wheel bearings and tubes in-stead of on the axle shaft. While it might appear that theouter ends of the shafts were thus made free from all 552 MOTOR TRUCKS, TRACTORS AND TRAILERS loads, except turning the wheels, and consequently thatthis is a full-floating axle, such is not the case, as but onebearing is used in each wheel. A single bearing is so shortrelative to the diamete
