An accessory box (200) for a gas turbine engine (10) has an input gear (72) to be driven by an input shaft (70). The input gear (72) is engaged to drive a first driven gear (75) on one radial side of a drive axis (C) of the input gear (72). The first gear (75) drives at least a second driven gear (79) on one radial side of the drive axis (C), with at least one accessory (76,80) driven by one of the first and second driven gears (75,79). The second driven gear (79) drives a bevel gear arrangement (82,83,84) to drive a third driven gear (90) on an opposed side of the drive axis (C) of the input gear (72). The third driven gear (90) drives at least a second accessory (88). The accessories (76,80,88) are associated with a gas turbine engine (10).
