Abstract
A chain and sprocket system includes a plurality of chains and phased or offset sprockets. Problems related to equalizing or sharing the load between the driven sprockets in a multiple axis, phased system are eliminated by providing sprockets that rotate independently of one another and having only one of those sprockets transmit load or power to the driven shaft.
