Ray Smyth:
Hi Graham, Thank you for your post and comments. I was aware that the offset/offside driveline as in picture 1 was fairly
common with bus chassis manufacturers, but I am intrigued with the driveline in picture 2, particularly where a short drive
shaft turns through 90 deg to the nearside of he chassis, was the diff at this point ? and did any other makers use this layout
other than Bristol and Dennis ?Kind Regards, Ray.
I cannot make out what is happening in the second photo. It was also quite common to locate the gearbox mid-chassis on PSV chassis.
