Abstract
A connection or attachment joint between two coaxial cylindrical members having substantially different thermal coefficients of expansion. Each cylindrical member has an outstanding flange at its mating end with the end portions of the cylindrical members being separated by an annular resilient strain pad to evenly absorb radial growth between the cylinders and the flanges being held together in a manner to permit one flange to slide over the other flange as a result of thermal expansions and contractions. A torque transfer arrangement is provided to control relative rotation between the cylindrical members.
