Abstract
A transmission having a power input and output that run along the same axis without having to use parallel shafting. The transmission is of the type which includes a toroidal drive and a co-axial drive, with the co-axial drive having a rotating planetary carrier that bisects the reaction path between one disk pair of the toroidal drive. With such a bisecting carrier, the co-axial drive enables power from an input shaft to be transmitted to a co-axial output shaft in a compact and space saving manner,
