1. A lubrication system for lubricating components across a rotation gap, said lubricating system comprising:
- a lubricant input;
a stationary first bearing receiving lubricant from said lubricant input said first bearing having an inner first race in which lubricant flows; and
a second bearing for rotation within said first bearing, said second bearing having a first opening in registration with said inner first race such that lubricant may flow from said inner first race through said first opening into a first conduit.

Abstract
A lubricating system for lubricating components across a rotation gap has an input that provides lubricant to a stationary first bearing. The first bearing has an inner first race in which lubricant flows. A second bearing rotates within the first bearing and has a first opening in registration with the inner first race such that lubricant may flow from the inner first race through the first opening into a first conduit.
