<p>A power transmission has a plurality of parallel axes on each of which is disposed a shaft (26,48,56) supporting a pair of selectively operable friction torque transmitting devices and gear members. One of the parallel axes supports an input shaft (26), which is drivingly connected to two of the other shafts through one-way devices (46,54) and a chain drive (40). A transfer shaft (76) is disposed in parallel with the other axes to transmit drive forces from the interconnected shafts to an output shaft (90,92). The transfer shaft has a gear member (74,72) meshing with the gear members (68,106,98 64,108,106) on the input driven shafts, which is effective to transmit the drive to the output shaft, which in turn is connected to a conventional output assembly such as a differential. <IMAGE></p> |
