Задание 6 Письменный перевод текста

THE DIFFERENTIAL

It is necessary to provide an automobile with a differential, in order that the rear wheels may revolve at different speeds when the car turns a corner, while at the same time both are being driven by the engine.

The differential is an automatic mechanism which operates according to the resistance of the road against the revolving wheels. When a car turns a corner, it is necessary for the outside wheel to revolve faster, because it has a longer distance to travel than the inside wheel. The outside wheel revolves faster than the inside wheel if the car turns to the right.

The axle shaft of the outside wheel being attached to the wheel, must revolve faster than the axle shaft of the inside wheel when turning to the right, and slower if turning to the left. Therefore, to compensate for this difference in speed of the two wheels, the bevel gears on the ends of the axle shafts mesh with the small bevel gears, called compensating or differential gears.
