ABSTRACT:
Drive apparatus providing input gearing with an input shaft adapted to be connected to a single-shaft gas turbine, output gearing with an output shaft for connection to a load, a fluid coupling interconnecting the input and output gearing, and fluid supply apparatus for directing metered fluid to the fluid coupling to control the amount of coupling, which provides for the speed of the output shaft to be varied, thus enabling the powering of loads characteristically having high starting and uneven running torques, such as positive displacement pumps and compressors.
