Abstract
A double pumper mount useful as a front mount for an aircraft engine. A pair of fluid chambers are selectively interconnectable by one of a plurality of inertia tracks by use of an adjustable cylindrical member which has the tracks formed as generally helical grooves extending about the periphery of the cylindrical member. These inertia tracks have different flow characteristics so as to produce differing notch frequencies so as to attenuate different vibrational frequencies. A second embodiment has a single inertia track whose length can be altered by rotating the cylindrical member to change the point at which the ingress/egress port of the fluid chamber engages the circumferential portion of the inertia track.
