        Yes the Spider gears are welded to the cage.  I've heard this
        referred to as a Detroit locker before, so that's why I used the term
in
        my post.  I believe that is the correct definition.

Nope. What you have is a "welded" rear end. The Detroit locker is a complex
pawl and lever arrangement that locks the rear end in situations where one
wheel is getting less traction than the other, making turns a little more
pleasant than a welded rear end.
