Abstract
This invention relates to a center connection having a flexible section. The flexible section allows a portion of the center connection to be highly flexible, while maintaining the ability to transmit torque. One method of forming the flexible center connection is to form the flexible section of the center connection of a series of individual interlocked segments.
