Bevel and worm rear drives face test on reliability and quiet
An expert review weighs worm and bevel rear axle drives in modern cars. It notes worm gear offers rare failures and superior overload tolerance, with inherent quietness, while bevel gear requires precise assembly for quiet operation and risks pinion wear under heavy loads.
Worm Drive Gains Ground In Car Transmissions
A detailed discussion highlights worm gear advantages in final drive with efficiency over 97.3 percent at the National Physical Laboratory. It notes negligible power loss versus bevel gear, addresses ground clearance concerns, and predicts more worm-driven rear axles in future cars.

Invention of New Vaporiser for Fordson Tractors
The Holley Carburetor Co has developed a fuel vaporiser for Fordson tractors. It handles fuels from benzol and petrol to kerosene and heavy oils, using exhaust heat to vaporise fuel in a heated chamber. The unit, weighing about £3 in America, includes a cast iron intake exhaust manifold and a ramshorn intake above the exhaust portion.
