ABSTRACT:
An accessory gear drive for gas turbine engine utilizes a radially extending, floating tower shaft which is unrestrained against radial movement, but includes a resilient biasing means for normally holding the tower shaft in power driving interengagement between the central drive shaft of the engine and an external accessory gear box. For engine maintenance, the tower shaft may be readily accessed and shifted radially outwardly by compressing the biasing means in order to facilitate easy engine disassembly and assembly.
