In 1979, a paper was presented at the A.S.M.E. Gas Turbine Conference introducing a new design of reversible converter-coupling which is used in combination with a direct drive clutch to provide a compact reversing gearbox. This latest paper describes the tests and development work carried out on a full-size reversible converter-coupling, following the model testing reported earlier. This paper also describes various types of reversing gearboxes incorporating the reversible converter-coupling and compares such designs with other methods of ship manoeuvring. (Wassmann)
