Definition: Ancillary equipment is machines and other technical things which are used with the main items of equipment to create a complete system. For a GTE this means for the engine to work properly we must have gearboxes that drive accessories, such as oil and fuel pumps. Drive for these gearboxes is from, on a twin spool GTE, the HP Compressor driving the internal gearbox, this gearbox drives a shaft which drives the external gearbox. The external gearbox will drive the main accessories, ie pumps etc. If there is not enough capacity on the external gearbox, drives can be used to drive the Auxiliary gearboxes to drive the other components needed to have the GTE running and supplying to the aircraft services such as hydraulics and electrical power.Hope this helps.
