Abstract
A variable timing gear device for an engine component driven by a drive system from the engine drive shaft. The gear device comprises an epicyclic or differential gear mechanism, an input of which is driven from the engine drive shaft and an output being connected to the driven shaft of the component. The device allows the drive speed between the input and output to be varied. The device may include means for varying the phase relationship between the engine drive shaft and the driven shaft of the component.
