Abstract
A geared transmission having multiple power paths in which each of the power paths are operatively connected to a fluid chamber. Input gears on each of the power paths are axially moveable on a jack shaft in response to loading on the power paths. A fluid chamber is operatively connected to each of the input gears such that movement of an input gear results in a change of pressure in the fluid chamber, and that change in pressure is communicated to all other power paths in the transmission to balance the loading between and among all of them.
