>>>Just as it sounds, it's a clutch system that uses two clutch discs 
instead of just one.   Presuming that both discs have splined centers, I fail to 
see any advantage to them at all?   In fact, the inside surfaces of both 
discs don't even need to have friction material at all, because by definition 
they are locked into position relative to one another by the splines on their 
respective hubs.

Or is only one of the two discs splined?
