 Hotchkiss drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hotchkiss drive is a shaft-drive system (another type of direct-drive transmission system is the torque tube, which was also popular until the 1950s).
The differentiating characteristic of the Hotchkiss drive is the fact that it uses universal joints at both ends of the driveshaft, which is not enclosed.
Some Hotchkiss driveshafts are made in two pieces with another universal joint in the center for greater flexibility, typically in trucks and specialty vehicles built on truck frames.

 Drive shafts
The drive shaft, also called a propeller shaft, is commonly a hollow steel tube with yoke(s) welded on the end.
The HOTCHKISS drive requires that the springs be rigid enough to withstand the twisting action (torque) of the rear axle and the driving and braking forces that the springs transmit to the frame.
Torque tubes differ from the Hotchkiss design in that a solid drive shaft is enclosed in a hollow torque tube and rotates within a support bearing to prevent whipping.

 Driveshaft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A driveshaft, driving shaft, or Cardan shaft is a mechanical device for transferring power from the engine or motor to the point where useful work is applied.
Most engines or motors deliver power as torque through rotary motion: this is extracted from the linear motion of pistons in a reciprocating engine; water driving a water wheel; or forced gas or water in a turbine.
At an engine test stand a drive shaft is used to transfer a certain speed / torque from the combustion engine to a dynamometer.

 Counter Pro Course 12
However, even in the case of "rigidly" mounted engines, transmissions and rear drive units (for instance, the popular BMW imports with independent rear suspension), there is enough flexibility in the chassis and driveline system to demand the use of some sort of coupling which allows a small amount of misalignment.
When diagrammed on paper, if you assume the rear of the transmission is a stationary point (which it is, since it is indeed mounted relatively rigidly to the frame), the motion of the back axle can be seen to describe an angle at the tailshaft of the tranmission as the axle rises and falls.
The "torque tube drive", where a single pivot point behind the transmission requires the use of a single flexible coupling (or universal joint, as a flexible coupling) to compensate for the up-and-down (and slightly side-to-side) movement of the axle as it rises and falls.
