REVERSAL OF DIRECTION OF POWER FLOW CHANGES POWERTRANSMISSION TO ALTERNATE PATH:
(under the class definition) Subject matter having two alternately usable power paths between a single input member* and a single output member* so arranged that (1) the interchange of the input and output relationship or (2) the change of direction of rotation of the input, changes the path through which the power is transmitted.
