Abstract

A relatively large drum which is supported by rotation about a horizontal axis of rotation is driven by a drive mechanism. The above mechanism includes an energizable rotor that is resiliently and rotatably supported, and in frictional contact with the circumference of the drum, so as to rotate the drum when energized.
