Well I work in the oilfield and the general use is to lock down a threaded connection where a roll pin cannot be used. So I would like the strongest connection (still being able to disassemble for repair) possible due to possible jarring and torque.
After some more research I found one article with claims but it gives no references so to me its just of opinion.

I read somewhere (either Marks, Machinery's, or somewhere else) that one set screw on a shaft is stronger than two 180 degrees apart and that two 90 degrees (or 60 I can't recall) is stronger than just one.
Does anyone know any reference material where I can find this stated? I've looked all...
