Details of Brockhouse transmission system are given; characteristics differ from Voith, Lysholm, and Trilok types in that efficiency is high at top end of speed scale; full range of speed and torque is transmitted through converter itself; one advantage claimed is smooth performance over undulating roads usually encountered in mines.
