Abstract
In a chain transmission incorporating a silent chain engaged with a sprocket, the plates of the chain are connected by sets of rocker pins extending through pin holes in the plates. The pin holes are elongated toward the center of each plate, and the elongation of each pin hole is greater than the maximum amount by which the distance between points on the respective rocker pins of each set increases when said chain is inflected to the maximum extent permitted by the sprocket in a portion of the chain in seating engagement with said sprocket.
