A drive arrangement is disclosed which provides for the transfer of torque between two non-aligned shafts. The drive arrangement includes an intermediate shaft having outwardly projecting claws secured to each end thereof which are engageable in a positive driving manner with corresponding claws formed on the first and second shafts, respectively. A pair of resilient members are interposed between the claws at each end of the intermediate shaft which provide flexible couplings for facilitating the transfer of torque therebetween. Such a drive arrangement corrects for pure eccentricity between the parallel axes of the first and second shafts as well as correcting for any lack of parallelism between these axes.
