Abstract

IN the articles on the VB‐10 tandem‐engined single‐seater and the Arsenal de l'Aéronautique the Vernisse coupling has been mentioned. The desirability of a constant‐torque coupling was realized as long ago as 1937 and work was begun on the design in 1939. The idea was to develop a coupling primarily to enable engines to be mounted in tandem so that they would drive co‐axial airscrews, but also to provide a shaft joint that would take up structural deflexions for extension drives of single engines.
