5、rRENK TACKE GMBHAugsburg, West GermanyIntroductionThe history of speed variation is approx-imately as old as that of the prime mover.Since the speed of a prime mover operatedat the design point is not suitable forevery driven unit, transmissions are neces-sary. This requirement gave rise to thedesig
