A solution to the speed variations of a load driven via a variable ratio gearbox from a non constant speed drive is obtained as a Volterra series. A particular solution is found when the gear ratio is varied sinusoidally. This leads to a simple transfer function, with coefficients varying with input amplitude, which is shown to adequately model the overall dynamics.
