Abstract
A power transfer mechanism incorporated in a multiple path drive system comprises a transfer case disposed between a source of input torque and a pair of drive axles. Torque is transferred directly to the fixed axle and, when required, is transferred automatically to the steering axle through a double-acting overrunning clutch. A friction clutch provides a preset constant friction drive through a separate path in parallel with the overrunning clutch for independent torque transfer from the steering axle to the fixed axle.
