Abstract: This paper describes in detail the flexible pin mechanism of load-sharing not only between adjacent planet wheels but also across the full tooth face of both sun and annulus mesh points. The history of a number of examples of gears in service is also described, and the paper concludes by showing the range of applications for this type of gearing, including the ultimate refinement of providing a drive with an infinitely variable ratio.
