Abstract

Content: THE HYDROSTATIC DRIVE has ceased to be a “promising development,” the author of this paper believes. The transmission has become a proved system, offering unique advantages to the designers and users of construction machines and others who place a premium on maneuverability, controllability, and the full availability of maximum power with changing vehicle speed.
The author discusses the advances made to date, various applications of the transmission (including tractor and shovels), and performance curves.*
