Abstract
A unified heliostat array for reflecting the rays of the sun upon a central collector. The heliostats are driven by a single pair of drive motors that are coupled to a sun tracker and to the individual heliostats by a common pair of drive cables. The common drive capability is made practical through the use of a novel rotational element defined as a transaxial link.
