Abstract
Abstract A rotary mechanical translating device may be defined as a purely mechanical device which transfers power from a prime mover to a load as a magnified function of a displacement at its input connection. The device exhibits a power gain and may be employed to produce mechanical amplification. A change in angular velocity of its input will result in a change in the angular velocity of its output.
