Abstract
A transmission apparatus for transmitting power from a motor for driving an airport ground support tractor includes a torque converter for transmitting torque from the motor. A planetary gear train is structured such that in a first mode of operation, when an input shaft is rotated in a first rotational direction, a casing is rotated in the first rotational direction. However, in a second mode of operation, rotation of the casing relative to a housing is inhibited so that a support rotates in a second rotational direction. The arrangement is such that a driven end of a main shaft is secured to the support so that the support selectively drives the main shaft in the first rotational direction and the second rotational direction. An electro-hydraulic actuator selectively moves a synchro device between a first and second dispositions thereof for establishing a first and second gear ratios.
