In a summing gear assembly, driving power is transmitted from a power source having several outputs, such as a steam turbine unit including a high pressure turbine, an intermediate pressure turbine, and a low pressure turbine, through input pinions and power drive lines to a common power take-off gear. Each input pinion is connected to a separate power output and is in meshed engagement with two adjacent power drive lines, there is one more power drive line than there are input pinions. The power drive lines are disposed in parallel laterally spaced relation and each has an intermediate pinion engaged with the power take-off gear. |
