Abstract: A Clutch Friction Plate Machine which has a friction plate with elevated plates or annular rings bonded to the clutch friction plate bearing surface. The elevated plates or annular rings may be of different materials, and some of the elevated plates or annular rings may be raised by spring means so that the one or more spring means raised elevated plates or annular rings engage with the opposing bearing surface first and then pressure causes the one or more spring means raised elevated plates or annular ring surfaces to lower allowing subsequent bearing surface engagement with the one or more nonspring means raised elevated plates or annular ring surfaces.
