Abstract

A damped flywheel comprising two coaxial masses (1, 6) mounted for movement of one with respect to the other against the action of springs (150) and of a friction member (170), in which the inertia of the first mass (1) is increased by locating the resilient member (150) entirely inwardly, in the radial sense, of the friction face (125) of the clutch itself.
