High tempera-tures are often reached when, as in traffic driving, slip-ping occurs frequently. Heat can radiate but slowly fromplates so fully enclosed. The Mack clutch illustrated in Fig. 11 is designed sothat the driven friction disk only is clamped between thetwo driving members. It is carried by a light steel plate,out is riveted to this plate at points nearer to the centerthan the bearing surface. This arrangement, no doubt,adds somewhat to the moment of inertia, but it has theadvantage of requiring only a single disk of friction ma-terial which takes the wear on both sides. Furthermore,.
