Four-link (Semi-Hotchkiss) Drive

Four-link (Semi-Hotchkiss) Drive
When helical springs are used in conjunction with a live rear axle, these springs cannot take driving and braking thrust, torque reaction or give lateral support to the rear axle. Therefore additional arrangements must be incorporated to meet these requirements. It may appear that the helical spring provides a reduction in the unsprung weight, but in practice when the weight of the additional locating arms and rods fitted to support this arrangement is added, the unsprung weight difference becomes very small. However, this layout allows for an accurate positioning of the axle which is an advantage.


The rear axles is positioned by upper and lower trailing suspension arms in the four-link drive system layout as illustrated in Fig. 26.29.


 These arms transmit driving thrust and prevent rotation of the axle casing. A transverse stabilizer, called a Panhard rod, connects the rear axle to the vehicle body and thereby controls sideways movement of the axle. Rubber mountings are fitted at each connection point to reduce noise transmission and to eliminate the need for lubrication. Also these mountings provide slight flexibility to allow for drive movement and geometric variations during spring deflection.

  The bookmaking is done with the help of the bark of the tree which was generated or grow all around the steam. this kind of paper tree can be seen in the large big forests. As they are going to expire due to the production of the paper at a huge scale they are not being carried out back for the recycling of the paper after the usage.  Reuse the age of the paper will make the reducing of the trees cutting of the deforestation to some extent which may control the environmental conditions of the earth. as the civilization is increasing there is no plantation of the trees are taking place which is a big drawback to the environment pollutions.  TREES ARE THE OXYGEN GENERATORS  If you are removing all the trees in the world how can you as a living being survive on the earth like called planet. we have to ask this question to ourselves at least once of time in life. As the man is having an IQ when comparing to all others in the world. As man is growing to an unlimited height the destruction
