Abstract
A transfer coupling has a static component and a rotatable component arranged in axial alignment. The static component includes a first number (n−1) of radially extending ports and the rotatable component has a second number (n) of radially extending ports, the radially extending ports arranged in a common circumferential plane, wherein the ports on each component are equally spaced around the component and the number of ports on a first of the components is one less than on the second of the components.
