This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A proposed transmission with continuously-variable speed ratio would couple two mechanical trigonometric-function generators. The transmission is expected to handle higher loads than conventional variable-pulley drives; and, unlike a variable pulley, there is positive traction through the entire drive train with no reliance on friction to transmit the power. It would be able to vary speed continously through zero and into reverse. Possible applications are in instrumentation where drive-train slippage cannot be tolerated. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Inquires concerning rights for the commerical use of this invention should be addressed to the Patent Counsel, Marshall Space Flight center, Mail Code: CC01, Marshall Space Flight Center, AL 35812.
