Presidents ReportHi
What a great long weekend at Glenmmagie thanks to Ivan & Janet S for all the home work, the arrangements with
the Lake Caravan Park and all the trips Licola , Dargo etc.
We have been busy at work in between catching up with Glen W about September at lake Hindmarsh/Wyperfeld
National Park all is good for 4 mile beach at Lake Hindmarsh near Jeparit. Ive been talking to two prospective
members about parts and membership. Greenhill Lake should be a good weekend also there is a few things that we
can do like a drive to many of the National Parks or around Ararat some lunch somewhere and then a Ford car
collection and extensive gardens with afternoon tea and a quiet evening ,Sunday arvo could be the rail museum . Itwill be cold so if you have a heater bring it and the means to run it, not sure about drinking water (there is a tank)
camp fire will be the go there is a few wood cutters around Ararat so we might get a trailer load? All is good this
end.
Dave.
President.

Ron & Eleonora used to be Land Rover people and Ron had
carried out many modifications to their Land Rover to enable
them to participate in the more extreme off-roading he and
Eleonora did most weekends. Ron experimented with
differentials, transfer cases, gear ratios, altered and rebuilt just
about everything for the trips into the Victorian High Country or
the depths of the Ottways Ranges where I have known off-
roading devotees to be unable to extricate themselves for a couple of days. In one instance involving Ron &
Eleonora one packet of biscuits had to keep a group of them from turning into cannibals and Ron remembers one
of the coldest nights he has ever experienced, when a day trip took longer than expected. These were the days
when Ron & Eleonora as foundation members of Geelong Four Wheel Drive Club, had among their friends Phil
Neil another extreme off-roader who certainly did not discourage Rons urge to go where none had gone before!
n fact the opposite seems to be the case with Phils involvement in some of the Land Rover upgrades.
Then International Harvester made Scout V8s available and Philip Neil opened an IH Scout dealership in
Grovedale just down the road from our home. Phil began turning up for the bush trips in a Scout and was quite
happy to demonstrate the Scouts ability to deal with driving in challenging conditions causing the competition topale by comparison. Needless to say this soon related to good sales figures as Phil Neil became known as the
bloke to buy an IH Scout off. Such was his reputation that in a competition conducted by International Harvester
with the prize being a trip to USA for the Australian dealer selling the most Scouts, Phil was already packing his
bags when another large IH dealership are said to have registered Scouts on their show room floor in the name
of the company and pipped Phil at the post. True or not it is illustrative of the numbers of Scouts going to their
owners from Grovedale Vic. And our club has other members who have been Phils customers.
Certainly up till the 1990s it was usual to see Scouts in the parking areas at the Grovedale shopping centre near
home and in Belmont and Waun Ponds, and on the roads around Geelong, but I havent seen a Scout out and
about in the Geelong area the last several years.
So it was that when Phil offered Ron Gregory a good deal Ron & Eleonora bought their brand new Traveltop whichthen opened the off road way to the potential to tackle tracks such as the Widow maker over the ridge into
Wonnangatta valley or around the outside fence of Anglesea Testing facility as well as other locations to make
your hair stand on end. For those who dont know Anglesea Testing facility its where vehicle design is tested,
particularly four wheel drive and heavy vehicles, angles of ascent, descent etc. basically a Commando Course for
vehicles which used to be the International Harvester Proving Ground back in the good old days. The Proving
Ground was developed from 1,161 hectares (2,5556 acres) at Wormbete near Anglesea in Victoria near the Otway
Ranges and became the largest automotive proving ground in Australia. Now owned by Linfox but still used for its
original purpose. It was quickly discovered by off roaders as providing some extreme challengers going around
the fence line particularly in winter. It is so dangerous that authorities have tried their best to stop the activity, but
Ron included a run around the fence on proposed trips when the club camped at their property at Birregurrahowever after a week of steady rain beforehand he dropped that idea.
Our club visited the Anglesea Proving Ground some time ago and the members that went were quite impressed
although very few would have imagined Ron & Eleonora happily spending afternoons slipping, sliding and sloshing
off-roading in that country.

Trip Report Glenmaggie Gathering March 30th
-April 5th
2012
Three Scouts, containing Ivan, Sue, Ken, Jeanette, Fred & Elaine camped at
Willow Ponds 48 hour freebie (right) near Rosedale on Thursday 29th
then
travelled together to Lake Glenmaggie on Friday morning, being joined there by
Ivan, Janet Jim, David, Glad, Wayne, Lyne & Cody, and one other member.
Our camps were set up fronting the lake. (photo left)
Saturday 1000hrs we followed Ivan and Janet for a day trip including a look at
Montana a private camping park on the Macalister River where they have stayed.
On the way to Licola, Cheynes Bridge Camping area was suitable for caravans anddid have drop toilets, but is used as a base for trail bike riders heading off into the
bush. At Licola next to the Macalister River where we had lunch some of the blokes
were particularly helpful to a young woman who had lost her man?? We emerged
from this encounter without losing any of ours although a married one was said to be on shaky ground! Some inspected the
Lions Club facility and the Chapel that had been relocated there by truck on the very scenic winding road, quite a feat in
itself. Licola is virtually a Lions Club Village owned by the Lions Clubs of Victoria and southern NSW utilising the Licola
Wilderness Village to provide camps for disadvantaged children and special needs groups in a wonderful bush setting. And
they have been doing so for over 35 years! Afternoon a trip to the horse paddock provided insight into other activities of
Ivan & Janet while also allowing us as did the entire days outing, to check out the numerous free camping spots along the
way, with quite a few having family camps set up as the school holidays had started.
Indeed that was the theme of the planning for the day trips that Ivan & Janet had carried out in the weeks prior to our visit.
Monday a bit after 1000hrs we set forth to Valencia Creek Park a private camp ground in a farmers bull paddock, well at
least that is what the new owners wanted to return it to according to the manageress, however the bulls or the people have a
reprieve and the park is continuing for camping and children or inquisitive adults are welcome to view and have some
participation in milking etc. while staying there, and they were booked out for Easter. Michael used to bring his Scout there
regularly prior to it being taken by the aliens. Stopped for lunch at Briagolong a rural subdivision area with many resident
artists. The rolling hills were green the dams full and the streams flowing, in areas we visited which is basically inland central
Gippsland. Quarry camp already had quite a number of campers and Blue Pools had been getting used although Sue vetoed
it for us to move to due to having no door on the toilet. But Cowwarr Weir looked like an autumn calendar photo and a very
nice freebie with toilets cleaned daily as well as being fitted with doors! However as the Glenmaggie proprietor dropped the
club price to $10 a head per day everyone decided to stay put until the Easter invasion.
Tuesday it was Dargo Pub for lunch after driving through the hills covered in dry forest
vegetation. The dark brown or reddish soil is not deep over the clay subsoil and slightly acidic
which does not retain moisture well so the trees and understory plants reflect this aspect.
There are dry rainshadow areas as well as lush and emerald green. Lunch seemed to be
enjoyed by everyone regardless of meal chosen and the rustic dcor suited the location.
Ivan & Janet Staben put a lot of effort into our stay in central Gippsland from initial reconnaissance, to planning and leading
trips and even gathering firewood, and the club sincerely thanks them.
NEXT MEETING May 20th 2012 at Green Hill Lake Ararat. (Photo right by Aussi, 2010)
Right hand turn travelling West off the Western Highway Green Hill Lake is located
4.89kms East ofArarat, 31.15kms South East ofStawell, 35.89kms North East ofWillaura
and 38.96kms North West ofBeaufort. Green Hill Lake an area of260 hectares. A
concrete walking and cycling path runs from the city to the lake.The lake is known for its redfin and trophy trout fishing. New stocking started and 3000
rainbow and brown trout, about 15cm long were released in Sept. 10. Another 4000 trout of the same size released July 11.
Give a bit of time and trophy trout will again be the go.
Camping is available at the lake. There is no need to book as there are acres ofcamping places. There are no powered
sites but solar hot water showers are available in the amenities block. At 27th
March 2012 there is no compulsory fee! But
a donation of $5.00 per car is requested. Eight solid fuel BBQs have been placed around the lake and there are four
different shelter buildings. Do not expect to find firewood in the lake reserve!And note it is an offence to collect firewood
from road reserves. Bags of firewood can be purchased at the Service stations $11.95 per 15KG bag. An RV black water
dump point is located in Ararat in Alexander Avenue opposite the Alexander Lake and gardens.
The lake has two boat ramps and a pontoon and caters for skiing, fishing and sailing boats, swimming, bird watching,
canoeing and walking. Many planted native trees have created bush land type settings around the area and have attractedmany different bird species.
Ararat has a thriving shopping centre with everything visitors would require and is close to the Grampians, Mount Cole Park,
Langi Ghiran State Park, many wineries and tourist attractions such as Gum san Chinese Heritage Centre, J Ward gaol for
the criminally insane, Langi Morgola Museum and the Railway Heritage Museum.
A volunteer to plan and lead a Saturday 19th trip is needed, if willing please contact David, 54971805 or 0428519496

The strange geometry of the Gleason Impossible Differential! from an article in Popular Science Feb 1984 Page 6
Constantly responding to changing road conditions, this unique differential automatically varies the distribution of torque to a
vehicle's rear wheels. Result: two-wheel-drive traction approaching that of a four-wheel drive. It could make its Detroit debut in 1985.
As I approached the stop sign, I noticed an icy patch on the street in front of the left side of my International Scout. Several cars had already
spun their wheels on the ice, and it was polished to a slippery, glassy smoothness. I had recently installed one of the new Torsen (torque-
sensing) differentials in my four-wheel-drive Scout, and this was a perfect opportunity to test the maker's claims. In two-wheel drive, I gently
accelerated and began to turn. The left rear wheel was now on the ice, but it didn't slip. I pushed harder on the accelerator . The rear tires
grabbed, and I maintained a perfect arc through the intersection as if there had been no ice at all.
Throughout the winters of 1981 and 1982, I never had to use four-wheel drive. The amazing improvement in my Scout's performance was due
o the Gleason Torsen differential. This uniquely designed differential applies torque to both rear wheels and distributes torque as required. Itwill deliver as much as 90 percent of the torque to one wheel, with 10 percent going to the other.
The new differential has been proving itself in vehicles ranging from Mario Andretti's race car to the U.S. Army's Jeep replacement. And Detroit
s definitely interested. The way engine power is conveyed to the wheels by the drive train affects the way a vehicle gets traction on a road
surface. Most of us know about the first two components of the drive train: the engine and transmission. The third part, the differential is not
nearly as familiar. That part has traditionally been a major source of mysterious traction problems
or many cars.
To understand the characteristics of the Gleason differential, it is necessary first to review the
differential problem," as engineers describe it. The problem stems from the basic nature of power-
driven wheels on axles. The best way to propel a vehicle is with power to both wheels. But in many
situations, the wheels are not turning at the same speed. For example, when a car makes a left
turn, the inside (left) wheel makes a smaller arc than the right wheel. The right wheel must travel
farther, and the differential must "differentiate," or compensate, between these two arcs. If bothwheels were solidly driven by the drive shaft (as on some dirt-track racing cars) and the vehicle
took a sharp turn, the tires would skid, squeal, wear unevenly, and possibly throw the vehicle off a
curve at high speed.
Until now, there have been three basic ways to handle this problem. The first is the conventional
differential. In normal operation (driving in a straight line), it distributes torque equally to both wheels. But because of its internal gearing, it has
a built-in preference for the wheel with less rolling resistance (traction). This allows the wheels to make turns, but it has traction drawbacks. A
conventional differential can't tell whether you're losing traction on a slippery surface or turning.
The "limited-slip" differential tries to overcome the conventional differential's limitations. It's been offered as an option on many makes of
cars for over two decades. Through the compression of clutch packs or the binding of internal gears, limited-slips put about twice as much
torque (engine power) on the wheel that isn't spinning. It's an improvement in so far as it transfers torque to the wheel with the greater amount
of traction.But limited-slip types also have their problems. The clutch-pack limited-slip has a nasty habit of
locking up at the wrong time: When you're cornering on a road in the rain or passing over slick
surfaces, for example. The reason: Sometimes these conditions don't provide enough traction to
compress the clutches. Limited-slips have other drawbacks: Clutches wear out, special lubricants
are needed, fuel economy is reduced, tires wear faster, and the differentials themselves are
noisy. Both the clutch-type and gear-type limited-slips have a time lag as the clutch packs
compress or the gears bind. In addition, they have a safe maximum torque bias of only 2.5:1.
That means they will provide one wheel with no more than two-and-a-half times as much torque
as the other. They are also considered to be dangerous in front-drive passenger cars.
The "locker" represents the third type of differential. It responds to wheel slip by locking in both
wheels simultaneously. If one of the wheels can get a grip, this differential will pull you through.
But traction is lost during turns, when the outer wheel must disengage to travel through a wider
arc. It also can lock up at the wrong time, and it's not recommended for highway use. Its torquebias of 100:0 is useful only in a limited number of situations. This same characteristic can cause
a safety hazard if one of the axle shafts breaks.
The "differential problem" seemed an unsolvable one, and by the mid-1960s, the Society of Automotive Engineers speculated that a differential
that was capable of overcoming these drawbacks would require a computer that would fit within the confines of the differential. This would
create a "fourth-generation' differential that could constantly monitor and distribute torque to both of the wheels in all traction conditions.
But there proved to be an easier way. The Gleason Torsen is a new type of differential, using a gear geometry never seen befo re in
mechanical engineering. Gene Stritzel, engineering manager of Gleason Works'Power Systems Division, calls it a "mechanical computer." Just
as an automatic transmission constantly adjusts engine rpm to vehicle speed, the Torsen distributes torque according to the demands of
slippery surfaces, uneven terrain, and turns.
The Torsen is the brainchild of Vernon Gleasman from Cleveland, Ohio, an inventor and mechanical engineer who holds more than 100
patents. Gleasman realized that in all previous attempts, the standard bevel-gear differentials. limited-slips, and lockers, the gear complex was
designed to lock onto one side while sacrificing the other. The standard differential delivers all the input power to the ter rain side, then losesthe engine side out to the spinning wheel when one wheel encounters a slippery surface. Limited-slips offer additional traction, but they have
to "clutch out" the terrain side to lock in the engine. Lockers, the third type, completely sacrifice terrain changes to main tain engine power.
"Putting the forces in the opposite side of the gear complex led me in the right direction, "Gleasman says. In other words, he intended to lock
onto the engine side to maintain engine torque at all times. A gear complex that would be flexible on the terrain side would allow the
differential to maintain power on both sides of an axle while turning, without allowing one wheel to spin.

Doing the impossible Page 7
What was needed was a gear arrangement that would work in a one-way fashion. Years of experience pointed Gleasman toward the worm
gear and wheel. Engineers have long known that the teeth of a worm gear and wheel can be cut at a helix angle such that the worm gear can
turn the worm wheel, but the worm wheel cannot turn the worm gear. This is unlike more conventional circular gears that can rotate each other.
It's why worm gears and wheels are used in winches, in which the gear turns the wheel of the drum, but the drum's worm wheel can't turn the
gear and the cables on cranes and hoists can't unwind.
But to devise a worm-gear, worm-wheel arrangement that would fit into an automotive axle, Gleasman had to overcome many technical and
engineering challenges:
Making the worm wheel smaller than the worm gear.
Understanding how these gears behave in a static condition. (Engineering handbooks contain formulas for worm gears and wheels only in
dynamic interaction.)
Designing the gears with as few as six teeth without undercut. (Engineering handbooks claim that it can't be done.)
Working out a new stress analysis to understand the torque loads sustained by the gears.
Designing a new hob (gear-cutting tool] for worm gears and wheels) to cut the new gears at extreme angles.
Designing new gear-cutting machinery to make the gears.
Virtually every aspect of Gleasman's new gear technology involved ideas that did not exist in traditional engineering handbooks. For example,
engineering handbooks caution that with less than 14 teeth on a gear, severe undercutting results, undermining the teeth and weakening them.
But Gleasman says, "I can cut gears with six teeth and have a wider tooth section at the bottom than normal gears have at 30 teeth."
No gear-cutting machinery existed that could cut the gears he designed, so he bought cutting machines and re-designed them and the hob to
cut gears to his new requirements. "I use six teeth on the worm wheel of my differential, and because of its function (to stop wheel spin) it has to
withstand almost twice the load of a conventional differential in the same space. The entire geometry of all the gears is changed so that no
undercutting exists. All the gear formulas say you can't do it, All the handbooks say you can't do it."
Gleasman responded to those who shook their heads in disbelief, "You just can't check my work with the traditional formulas because I couldn't
use that information to design the gears in the first place.'
Gleasman goes to GleasonThe differential's first patent was granted in 1958, and Gleasman started to manufacture the differential as a sideline, using the same machinery
used to cut the prototypes.
Originally dubbed the Dual Drive, the unique differential was later manufactured by Triple-D Inc. of Cleveland and was sold as an aftermarket
accessory during the 1970s to owners of Toyota Land Cruisers, Pickups, Chevrolet Blazers, other four-wheelers, and racing cars. Its success in
hat market prompted Gleasman to look for a company large enough to manufacture the device for Detroit and the world market.
He went to Gleason Works of Rochester, N.Y, in 1982. Gleason Works is the world's foremost authority on the engineering and manufacture of
ing, pinion, and bevel gears used in differentials. Their machines cut 90 percent of the bevel gears used by auto makers throughout the world.
he Torsen is currently available as an aftermarket replacement. Retail prices range from US$356 to US$482. Installation of the Torsen is
dentical to that of a conventional differential. Any competent mechanic or drive-line shop can do the work. To the price of the Torsen, add the
cost of labour, bearings, and gaskets needed to switch differentials. Swapping can cost from US$400 to US$650 or more. No special
adjustments, equipment, or tools are needed other than those required to swap a conventional differential.
According to Gleason, the Torsen is very easy to maintain. It requires only occasional gear-oil changes. Repairs on the unit, if required, must bedone by the Gleason Works in Rochester. That's because the Torsen, although simple in design (it uses only eight moving parts), fits together
like a Chinese puzzle: There's only one way to do it right. I've had a Torsen in my International Scout for two years with no trouble at all.
Operation is still quiet and smooth. In addition to the increase in traction, the handling has improved enormously.
In fact, dollar for dollar, the Torsen probably provides a greater traction improvement than any other after market accessory. Because its torque
bias provides 200 percent more traction than the best limited-slips, it will do more for traction than large tires, extra horsepower, or high-lift
suspension kits.
Who's using it
Response to the new differential has been enthusiastic from a number of quarters. Mario
Andretti used one at the Indianapolis 500 in his Newman-Hass T-700 Lola. Actor-driver
Paul Newman installed a Torsen in his Bob Sharp Datsun. During the 1982 racing
season, Newman had the most successful record of his driving career.
Production sports cars, like racing cars, also have stringent handling and torque
demands. The limited- production Vector, a California built, 600-horsepower, $150,000sports model, uses the Torsen.
Import-auto makers are also interested in the Torsen. Maserati , for example, submitted
the differential to every test it could think of, including 3,800 miles of the roughest roads
in Italy. Its decision was to make the Torsen standard equipment on its 300- horsepower
Quattroporte and on the Bi-turbo sports car.
The Army's new all-purpose Jeep replacement, the High Mobility Multi PurPose Wheeled
Vehicle [HMMWV,' PS, June '82] will use two Torsens, one in each axle. Before it was
accepted by the Army, the HMMWV and the Torsens in each of the vehicle's two
differentials were subjected to a 20,000 mile off-road endurance test an rugged terrain. Engineer Tjong Lie, of AM General, an American
Motors division, has worked on the HMMWV project since 1979. He described some of the advantages that the Torsen offers. "First, it
differentiates all the time at any torque and speed. Second, it doesn't require any special lubricants or adjustments, as do clutch-pack
differentials. Third, the bias ratio can be increased from the initial 3:1 to provide additional traction. Finally, it has the lowest possible weight forits size.
The Torsen could make its Detroit debut during the 1985 model year. "Some of our units have already passed the qualifying tests of one auto
maker", says Paul Dandrea, vice-president and general manager of Gleason Works Power Systems Division. One thing that makes the Torsen
differential so attractive to Detroit is that it can function in the same transmission fluid used by both automatic and manual front-drive transaxles.
Limited-slip differentials have a clutch between the differential case and side gears. When the clutch is engaged, it limits movement between the
case and side gears. This forces both axles to rotate with the cam. Any time one wheel rotates faster than the other, torque is transferred.
n a conventional differential, problems occur when one wheel loses traction. The side gear of the wheel with traction becomes stationary The
7/29/2019 april-may_2012-3
8/10
Page 8
differential gears then rotate on their pinion shafts as they revolve around the stationary side gear. Power is then lost out the side with the
east amount of traction. The limited-slip locks the case and side gears together to prevent this.
How it works: In the Torsen, as in any other differential, the power of the engine is transferred to the differential housing via the ring gear.
The Torsen then uses pairs of worm wheels (from two to three pairs, depending on the size of the differential) mounted on the differential
housing to turn the worm gears splined to the axle shafts. The left worm wheel of each pair turns the left axle shaft, and the right worm wheel
of each pair turns the right axle shaft, Because the worm wheel cannot turn the worm gear, it locks on the gear and turns the axle shaft,
propelling the vehicle forward. The right and left axle shafts (and right and left wheels) turn simultaneously. Each wheel then rotates at the
same speed.
However, when the vehicle makes a turn, each wheel rotates at a slightly different rpm. For instance, during a left turn, the left wheel will slow
down by two rpm, and the right wheel will speed up by two rpm. One axle shaft always slows down at the exact rate that the other one speeds
up. This difference in rpm is transferred to the worm wheels (because the worm gear on the axle shaft can turn the worm wheel and equalize
he other side via the 1:1 spur gears, which act as balancing gears). So the engine is "Locked" or engaged on the axle shafts, while allowing for
differential action when negotiating turns.

Ford is continuing to update its F-150 SVT Raptor model,
announcing some new equipment for 2012 that is sure to
please off-roading enthusiasts. While a series Baja buggy, with
incredible suspension travel and tremendous jumping capability the
Raptor was less ideally suited to low-speed rock-crawling. That,
however, is no longer the case with a new Torsen front differential
that can send power individually to each wheel, putting traction
where its required.

'WHICH MICKEY THOMPSON TIRE PERFORMS FOR YOU?'This competition has now ended, thank you to those who sent us in your stories and picturesof your awesome 4WD's!The Winners of our 'Which Mickey Thompson Tire Performs for you?' are....Mike Haydon - Seven Hills NSW 'I run Baja Claws, We have Been all up the east coaston my claws and I will be doing the Gibb River road on a set of MTZS in June for amonth.The best time they have clawed me out of a bog was at XMAS. I had the Diffs sittingon rocks so the claws had no traction,once we dug a clearing for the diffs and the MTs
found the bottom we were out of there!It took about 3 hours of digging to get the tires totouch the bottom. I know i wouldnt have driven out if I had anything but Claws.I run MTs as really dont have to many stories of being stuck as if you keep them on the ground you will always keep moving forward.'
5. Ty Pawsey, President of the NSW club has sold his Scout, to someone in Queensland.
6. Hi Ken just a few words for the magazine relating to RPM to 100Ks before I brought my first scout and didn't knowanything about them I seen some scouts advertised as doing 1800rpm to 100 kilometers so when I got my 1st one,2nd one 3rd one so on I tried a few different combinations changing dizzys carbies etc. What I found is you can get1800 revs if the switch on the tacho is on 6 cyl instead of 8 cyl . If you have 30x9.5 tyres you will get 2200rpm at100Ks and with correct tyres 235/75/15 you will do 2400rpm at 100ks .My cars are autos I havent a manual to testbut it should be the same because they all end up at 1:1 ratio . If you have the correct tyres ,speedo reduction box I
think 7:1,and no slipping in the speedo cable then the speedo will be dead accurate as per satellite ok bye scoutnut
7. Facebook is not a medium I am comfortable about! However a number of Scout club
members are happy to use it to socialize about all things International and the International
Scout Owners Club Australia page has developed to the extent that Betsy Blume who is the
grand-daughter of Ted Ornas has recently begun to post on the site with items about
Grandpa of whom she is immensely proud. She recently got her Red Carpet series Scout
registered in Texas and the title was issued exactly 50 years from the date of her grandfather (Ted
Ornas) first Scout patent, which has made it very special for her.
