The two sets of links by being attaches at right angles to one another, as seen in Fig. 16, form a coupling which permits the engine and the spur wheel B to get their centres out of line without interfering with the working of the gearing. The joints being knuckle joints, the first set because the links C are open-slotted and rounded on the inside at the ends, and the second set, namely, those of links D, because of the spring connection, the spur wheel B can deviate irregularly from the shaft to a sufficient extent, the extreme angle of heel never being great. The wheel F is attached to the internal spur wheel I seen in Fig. 14. This wheel is keyed on the main axle K, and forms part of the compensating gear. It engages through the pinions G and H with the internal spur wheel J. This latter is cast along with the hub of that driver which is loose on the shaft. The action of the compensating gear is precisely similar to that of the one previously described.
