Abstract
A friction clutch drive plate having a hub and friction facings which face in opposite directions, the friction facings each being mounted on a respective coaxial carrier plate. At least one, and preferably both of the carrier plates is rotatable about the hub, the two carrier plates being secured back to back with each other and being rotatable realative to each other, said rotation being opposed by friction damping means which may comprise the two carrier plates biased against each other so that adjacent surfaces of the two plates are in frictional engagement.
