ABSTRACT:
A gear train is housed in a gear box having upper and lower plates in or on which gear-shaft bearings are mounted. One of the gears functions as a centrifugal gear pump for projecting lubricating oil from a sump in the tank angularly upwardly through openings in the upper bearing-mounting plate to a deflecter plate located thereabove. This oil is deflected angularly downwardly and collected in a recessed area on the upper surface of the upper bearing-mounting plate. Bearing caps are provided with radial ports through which oil collected in the recessed area flows to the bearings and working parts before returning to the sump.
