Torsen Diff. operation

[Steve Evans <sevans@radstone.co.uk>]

I am rather curious to know how a Torsen diff. works. I know that it is free
under braking, yet distributes power between front and rear within certain
ratios (75%/25% being the maximum difference I believe) when under load.

How on earth does this box of cogs work? Can anybody out there explain it?

Any explanations much appreciated,

Steve
