ABSTRACT:
A circuit for drivably connecting first and second relatively rotating members disposed for relative rotation, comprising the first relatively rotating member carrying a first spline tooth, the second relatively rotating member having a corresponding second splined tooth for engagement with the first spline tooth. A shaft rotatably supports the second member about an axis of rotation. A synchronizer is provided to synchronize the second member rotationally with respect to the first member. The first spline tooth is slideable into engagement with the second spline tooth. The spline teeth are rotationally alignable while the first spline tooth is slid into engagement with the second spline tooth. The second member is permitted to rotate relative to the shaft while the spline teeth are being aligned and while the first and second member remain frictionally synchronized.
