Date Aug. 8, 1991.A rotatable disc (1, 3) formed with a coaxial part-toroidal race (26, 27) for use as the input or output disc of the variator for a transmission-especially of the full toroidal kind-of the toroidal-race rolling-traction type, in which the torus radius (rd) of the race, that is to say the radius of curvature of the race measured at a chose point on the race and in a plane including the disc axis, decreases as the distance of that point from the disc axis (5) diminishes. Such decrease of the torus radius may be either continuous or discontinuous./p [US5263907A]
