    Abstract: The power train has a manual throttle controlled gas turbine engine having a high no load idle speed and a transmission having a low capacity fluid coupling and a variable capacity slipping friction clutch connected in parallel to the input of a multiratio gear unit for driving a vehicle. During engine idle with the vehicle stationary, when the gear unit is in neutral, the fluid coupling is unloaded to permit the engine to operate and drive the accessories at a high no load idle speed. When the gear unit is placed in a drive ratio, the fluid coupling is stalled loading the engine and reducing the no load idle speed to a regulated lower drive starting idle speed range, to reduce the inertia energy level for smooth drive starting clutch engagement and to maintain the engine output speed in a proper vehicle accessory operating idle speed range. When the throttle is increased from idle to initiate vehicle drive, in a minimal low throttle range, the engine torque and speed will increase in accordance with the fluid coupling stall torque characteristics, in a large middle throttle range, the torque capacity of the slipping friction clutch will increase proportional to the compressor discharge pressure of the gas turbine engine and the engine output torque will increase with reduced engine output speed to provide normal drive initiating torque requirements and in a small maximum throttle range, full capacity non-slip engagement of the friction clutch will provide increased engine torque at zero engine output speed to maximum torque to meet maximum drive initiating torque requirements.

    Abstract: A position indication derived from the output signal of an engine demand device sensor is compensated for errors which tend to expand or contract the range of such output signal. The signal is compared to previously stored upper and lower reference values nominally corresponding to the limit positions of the demand device, and the position indication is derived in accordance with such comparison. The compensation is achieved by altering the previously stored upper and lower reference values at the initiation of each period of vehicle operation, in a sense to contract the range of output signals defined thereby, and by replacing the upper or lower reference values with the sensor output signal value during the ensuing period of vehicle operation if the sensor output signal value is greater or less than the upper or lower reference values, respectively.

    Abstract: An automatic multiratio drive transmission having an automatic shift control system with a speed and throttle position pressure controlled shift valve controlling shifts between the highest drive ratio and the next lower drive ratio. When the shift valve is in the lower drive ratio position, a normal speed pressure signal increasing with increasing speed acting on the shift valve overcomes an opposing bias force controlled by throttle pressure to upshift the shift valve to the higher drive ratio position at increasing upshift speeds for increased throttle positions and provides an upshift hysteresis force decreasing with increasing throttle positions to prevent shift cycling as the highest ratio is established in a short time period and after a longer time delay period reduces the normal speed related governor pressure in an amount equal to the upshift hysteresis force at full throttle so that the downshift speed is the same as the upshift speed at the full throttle position.

    Abstract: A multiratio powershift transmission having fluid operated drive devices including a forward clutch with an apply chamber supplied with fluid apply pressure to engage the clutch for forward drives and exhausted to disengage the clutch for reverse drive. The apply chamber is in a housing rotating at input speed during forward and reverse drive. In forward drive, a dump valve mounted on the rotating housing is biased closed by a spring, static fluid apply pressure, and centrifugal pressure head, in the rated input speed range. At a higher speed, centrifugal force on the dump valve element opens the dump valve to exhaust the apply chamber and disengage forward drive. In reverse drive, the dump valve is biased closed only by the spring which at idle speed closes the dump valve, and at a low speed used in reverse drive, centrifugal force opens the dump valve to flush the dump valve during reverse drive.

    Abstract: A transmission having selectively engaged fluid actuated friction drive establishing devices and an engagement timing control system having a trimmer regulator valve for each drive establishing device, a trimmer bias regulator valve and accumulator. The oncoming trimmer valve has a spring biasing device responsive to engagement pressure to increase oncoming ratio drive engagement pressure at a controlled rate, initially at a high rate up to a minimum slack take up pressure, then to gradually increase the drive pressure from the minimum pressure at a low rate in a predetermined trimming time period for establishing the drive and then to increase the pressure at a very high rate to high line pressure. A trimmer bias system pressure is supplied to a bias chamber of the trimmer valves and acts in the oncoming trimmer valve bias chamber to increase the pressure level of the gradually increasing drive engagement pressure proportional to torque demand. A limited volume flow trimmer bias supply pressure is supplied to the trimmer bias system having an accumulator and the trimmer valve bias chambers which change volume during a shift relative to the limited volume supply flow to control the trimmer bias system pressure and the resulting drive ratio pressure so the engagement pressure is reduced to the minimum at the beginning of the trimmer time period at all torque demand values and the increase with torque demand is delayed and gradual for smooth shifting.
