Interesting Audi Reading - trivia question...

[Pantelis Giamarellos]

Dave Hi,

IIRC the patent of the heart of the Formula Ferguson (that is what FF stood
for) four wheel drive system, namely the viscous coupling center diff, was
sold to another company and this is from where we now have the viscous
coupling center diff of the Range Rover and if I am not wrong of the VW
syncro.

As for the Jensen company I think it followed the fate of the British
industry of the 70's. It bankrupted.

Take care
Pantelis
