Please help me understand what a floater is.  My visual image is not related
to auto rear ends?

        Eight inch Ford -- any idea what cars used it
--Pinto/Capri/English/what?
        The floater axle of the Healey is best, probably overkill for brakes
and
        Ring & Pinion, and somebody reminded me that MGB is a floater also.
