This drive shaft is connected at the end the pump there l6 to any suitable source of motive power, such as an electric motor. .Keyed to this shaftv 5 is a drive pinion l retainedinposition bythe key 8.

The I3 is used to seal the outer cover plate to the drive shaft 5.

the plates and I a stub this axle there are packing l0 of the gear pump There is mounted in shaft or axle I4 and on mounted the ball support the gear l6`that constitutes the other half of the gear assembly constituting the gear pump. Fluid passageways I1 and I8 are provided leading'from the slippage tank and leading to the main tank in order to remove the slippage from the main pump and its slippage tank. I9 indicates the gear pump chamber.

The gear I6 is also utilized as an intermediate driving gear which meshes with the gear 20 that is provided with a hub 2l. This gear is keyed by the key 22 on the drive shaft 23 for a pilot pump 24 which may be a gear pump or any other type of pump desired. This pilot pump 2l is mounted through the plate 25 and screws 26 upon the plate I0 of the gear pump. n

In this manner when the electric motor drivesv the shaft it drives the gear pump, `consisting of the gears 1 and i6 for the replenishment of the slippage in the main pump, and at the same time drives the piloty pump 24 supplying fluid pressuretherefrom to the controls for controlling the main pump or portions the supply of n uid accordingto speed of the""master -pump,

2. In combination, a main pump, a driven shaft therefor, a main casing for the main pump, a supplementary casing mounted on one end of the main casing and surrounding a part of saidI driven shaft, a gear on said driven shaft within the supplementary casing, a second g'ear meshing therewith pivoted in said supplementary casing, said supplementary casing being arranged to form a gear pump chamber with an inlet and outlet in association with said gears, and means of connecting said pump chamber to a source of supply of fluid and to said main pump, a third gear meshing with the second gear and' mounted within said supplementary casing, and a third pump mounted on said supplementary casing having a drive shaft projecting intothe supp1ementary casing and supporting said third gear. 3.

4. In combination in a pumping system, of a common power source. a common driven shaft and three pumps driven thereby and arranged in series, one of said pumps having pumping gears adapted simultaneously to pump fluid and to transmit'the power delivered to it from another of the pumps to the third pump, whereby all three pumps are driven synchronously.

5. A pumping unit comprising a main hydraulic pump, power driving means therefor, a support adapted to be secured to said main pump, a detachable gear pump driven by said power driving means and mounted upon said support. and a pilot pump mounted on said gear pump and driven from one of the gears of said gear pump, whereby saidgear pump serves simultaneously to pump fluid and' to transmit power from said driving means to said pilot pump.

6. A pumping unit comprising power driving means, a main'hydraulic pump driven by said driving means and having a casing with a casing end-plate, a gear pump mounted on said endplate and adapted to be driven by said driving means, apinion meshing with and driven by one of the gears of said gear pump. and a pilot pump driven by said pinion `whereby the gear pump serves simultaneously to pump fluid and to transmit power from said driving means through the pump gearing to the pilot pump.
