Abstract
The present invention is directed to a roller chain and sprocket drive which has at least two sprockets with varied radial seating positions. The relative orientation of the sprockets are adjusted to provide favorable dynamics to the drive. This can include the minimization of the strand variation and providing the maximum strand variation for each chain strand to be phased differently than other strands.
