Abstract: A clutch pack arrangement including a plurality of discs having inner splines with each disc having a friction lining attached to a single side of the discs having inner splines; a plurality of discs having outer splines with each disc having a friction lining attached to a single side of the discs having outer splines, said discs having outer splines being space intermittent to said discs having inner splines, and all friction lings are located on the same relative side of the discs having inner and outer splines; and; a plurality of bare steel discs including at least one bare steel disc having an inner spline and at least one bare steel disc having an outer spline, said bare steel discs being located intermittently between said, disc have friction linings attached to one side thereof.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for making die-dried friction wafers collects friction particulates in a mold defining a wafer. The mold includes at least one perforate wall portion against which an aqueous slurry including the particulates is passed to form at least one layer on the wall as the particulates collect in the mold. The collection is dried followed by curing, and may be cured in the mold by heating.
