Abstract
A retainer for retaining and controlling a plurality of rollers rollingly engaging and transmitting torque between conjugate epitrochoidal-like and hypotrochoidal-like races has elongated slots formed therein which function to centrifugally load only those rollers located in a relatively stable position and not centrifugally load other rollers located in an inherently unstable position. Hence, smooth operation of the epicyclic speed reducing transmission is achieved.
