1. Camel Back Suspension = A type of spring suspension used on tandem drive axles Manufactured by Mack trucks.[ The spring is humped up in the middle looking like the back on a camel.]
2. Hendrickson Suspension = A type of spring suspension used on tandem drive axles that incorperates a large center spring. This spring sits on a saddle which sits on a walking beam. The walking beam ends are connected to the drive axles.
3. The Hutch suspension ,I believe this was what they called the 4 spring suspension. This I have not seen on a modern day truck. The term Hutch and Rayco I had always asociated with trailer suspensions. [ consider an air ride suspension]
Hope this helps Jim WJ
