Abstract
A positive clutch system (100) is provided for selectively rotationally coupling and decoupling a first (22) and second (38) rotatable member. The total system rotational backlash is distributed to minimize the backlash component (222) dependent upon directions of relative rotation and to maximize the backlash component (220) independent of relative rotation.
