Tables
1. Dimensions of standard long addendum spur pinions
     in terms of unit module or diametral pitch
1A. Centre distances, in terms of unit module or
     diametral pitch, at which standard long addendum
     spur pinions and wheels having x2 = 0 engage without
     backlash
2. Corresponding values of sigma x, y and alpha w for
     alpha n = 20 deg
Figure
1. Examples of addendum modification
Charts
1. Limiting values of the sum of addendum modification
     coefficients applicable to external tooth spur and
     helical gear pairs
2. Limiting values for the addendum modification
     coefficient applicable to an external spur or
     helical gear

Provides guidance on the modification to the teeth of involute spur and helical gears with the object of making provision for design latitude enabling standard cutting tools to be used to their best advantage. Covers terminology, definitions and notation, tooth design, limiting values, application to internal tooth gearing and centre distance modification coefficient.
