Abstract
A viscous fluid transmission including a rotary casing adapted to receve a viscous fluid and a rotary element within the casing. The casing and the rotary element are connected respectively to two drive shafts. Means is provided for pumping the fluid from its normal position in the casing into a holding reservoir or other displaced zone so as to reduce the quantity of fluid in contact with the rotary element and hence the transmitted torque. Means is also provided for varying the pumping action to modify the quantity of fluid in the casing.
