Abstract
A drive system for use in a machine has a drive wheel and a chain. A plurality of bogies each having at least one hook are pivotally connected about the drive wheel at pre-selected spaced circumferential locations. A spring member is positioned between the bogie and the drive wheel to pre-position the bogie for engagement of the pins. The pivotal movement of the bogies in combination with the spring members reduces noise and the effects of chordal action as the bogies engage the pins through rotation of the drive wheel.
