Abstract
A compressor drive controls the driving connection between a vehicle engine and an air compressor. The drive includes a clutch disc pack which is lubricated by lubricating fluid communicated through a passage on the spindle upon which the disc pack is mounted. A sleeve mounted in the passage provides a flow-restricting orifice which controls communication into an annular chamber defined between the sleeve and the passage. Axial-spaced apertures permit fluid communication from the annular chamber to each pair of plates in the disc pack.
