INFINITELY VARIABLE GEAR.—An invention utilising the peculiar motion of a differential. The main driving pinion meshes with a pair of planetary bevels mounted on a cross-head on the driven shaft. The planets also mesh with a reaction gear, the speed of which can be controlled. In noticing the design "The Motor" remarks that whether or not it will eventually prove to be commercially successful is probably dependent upon the efficiency and durability of the mechanism -used to control the variations in ratio. There is an alternative system using an : - ' eccentric motion.
