Abstract
The sideplates of a turbine rotor assembly that seal between turbine stages are retained by a retention assembly that hooks onto the front sideplate and is riveted onto the rear plate negating the necessity of rivet holes in the front sideplate. A plurality of segmented sideplates circumscribe the full hoop of the rotor and each sideplate carries a retention assembly rather than providing a retention assembly for each blade which is greater in number.
