Constant Speed Drives for Alternators

The first Constant Speed Drives came from Sunstrand way back in the 1950s or thereabouts.

These drives would seem to be one of the most reliable pieces of aviation engineering.

Is Sunstrand still churning them out and who else makes them?

When flying multiple units do they gang together automatically?
