In a vehicle drive train the field structure of the transmission drive is connected to a rotatable shaft driven by a heat engine operated at constant RPM and speed variation is effected by electrical control means connected to the armature which regulates the armature current during relative movement of the field structure and the armature thereby varying the power transmitted to the driving side.Other References
