<p>In transmitting power from an engine or engines a planetary gear assembly (38) is coupled to first and second discrete sources of rotary power (10,26) by first and second output coupling means respectively. The assembly has a primary driving member (42 or 40), a secondary driving member (44 or 42), and a driven follower member (40 or 44). The primary driving member is coupled by the first output coupling means to the first rotary power source, and the secondary driving member is coupled by the second output coupling means to the second rotary power source. The driven follower member (40 or 44) is other than the planetary carrier cage (42) of the planetary gear assembly.</p> |
