Needs some restructuring, removal of claims, and maybe addition of claims
If I'm reading the ammunition loading patent correctly, I think this is a different type of transmission that is purely hydrostatic, where the HFT (and the previous transmissions) have a power split effect.

Additionally, one of the citations shows that (a manually-shifted version of) this transmission was used in the Honda Juno scooters, which were a road application, directly contradicting a claim made in the article that the DN-01 was the first road application.

Finally, Honda's own press releases reference the source of the technology being Badalini, who I believe used it in agricultural applications, with a patent being filed as early as 1955 (US2891419). Bhtooefr (talk) 12:43, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
