Coupling.
The rotational force of the engine is transferred to the centri-
fugal pump through a flexible coupling which joins the engine flywheel
and the pump shaft.
The coupling consists of a driving half which is
keyed to the pump shaft, and a resilient spider through which the tor-
que is transferred.
The resilience of the spider permits a free trans-
fer of torque even though slight misalignment may exist between the
driving parts.
