Two-speed tandem development in motor-truck axle design at Eaton Mfg Co began in 1956 in effort to reduce weight, decrease length of forward-drive axle, simplify power divider, and to use as many existing parts of common drive axles as possible; paper covers reasons for 2-speed tandem, its development and operation, applications for 2-speed tandem, and future developments in other types of multispeed tandem-drive axles.
