Abstract: A motion transmitting device including four basic elements, namely, eccentric means, meshing means formed from a number of meshing elements which are linked but movable independently with respect to each other, wheel means formed with portions adapted to engage said meshing elements, and movement limiting means, including a datum member, wherein said eccentric means is disposed to cause each of said meshing elements to become engaged with, and subsequently to become dissociated from, said portions, while said meshing elements are individually guided by said movement-limiting means within specific limits of movement relative to said datum member, such that always a plurality of adjacent ones of said meshing elements are simultaneously in driving engagement with, and stationary relative to, a corresponding number of said portions, and that the total movement relative to said datum member of each of said meshing elements, while it is drivingly engaged with one of said portions, follows a substantially ovoidal pa
