Abstract: An improved transmission for transferring torque. First and second gears are each configured for integral, rigid attachment to first and second torque-bearing bodies, respectively. A third gears is disposed in simultaneous meshing engagement with the first and second gears such that said first and second gears are disposed in substantial co-axial orientation. The gears are configured such that rotation of a first of the three gears relative to a second of the three gears causes rotation of the remaining third gear via the various meshing engagements to thereby accomplish a transfer of torque from the first gear to the third gear.
