It was a dry clutch, and quite reminiscent of what later appeared in automatic transmissions. No doubt it was an expensive feature but at that point in Packards history I'd think the quest for mechanical perfection was their foremost concern. As late as the very early 30s Packard (as well as others) was still using a multiple (2 disc) dry clutch.
