Abstract
A ratio select mechanism including a supporting structure, first and second rotary input members mounted on the supporting structure, and a connecting lever extending between the rotary input members. An output member is coupled to the connecting lever. The opposite ends of the connecting lever are mounted for movement on the rotary input members, respectively, along radially extending paths. By adjusting the relative radial positions of the end portions of the connecting lever, the authority which each of the rotary input members has over the output member can be adjusted.
