Zusammenfassung:A compound gear assembly includes two gears, each gear respectively including interlocking features, which may be complimentary arcuate sections, for transferring torque between the gears. A clearance between the respective arcuate sections permits the gears to move radially relative to one another, which ensures that the gears mesh in a desired manner with the gears to which they are coupled. A snap ring is inserted into an annular groove located circumferentially about the respective arcuate sections, which secures one gear to another.
