Description: |
| Abstract:
The particular apparatus illustrated in the drawings comprises a multiple power unit for use in oil fields where its power is employed in drilling and driving and pumping out wells. In such a device, and in many other devices of like characteristics, it is desirable to9 provide a remote control mechanism capable not, alone of regulating the rate of operation of the internal combustion engine from which power is derived, but capable also of operating the clutch and brake devices of one or any number of power units in synchronization from a remote point. In referring to the synchronous operation o the controls, I refer not merely to the manipulation of identical clutches or brake mechanisms in a plurality of units, but to the improperly timed operation of clutches and brakes in a single unit to produce the desired effect on the power cutout.
Claim:
The combination with a plurality of power and transmission units having Individual shaft controls and power delivery shafts coupled together, of an independently portable remote control station, and means at said station provided with power transmitting connections for the synchronous operation of the controls of the several units. |
