Abstract

This invention comprehends a mechanism that applies a uniform drag on an aft or rear mounted drag mechanism. A driver member is keyed to the centershaft and is engaged by floating friction drive members nested between friction units which floating friction drive members and friction units permit wide centershaft concentricity or misalignment without creating binding or tightness of the centershaft.
