ABSTRACT:
Guide means are provided for a fixed track chain drive system to avoid velocity fluctuation caused when the chain enters and exits a drive sprocket during continued travel between straight tracks. Said guide means comprises a curved track section located between the drive sprocket and straight track having a varying curvature depending upon a mathematical computation derived between the chain lengths when traveling in the straight track and on the drive sprocket.
