Anyone have the old Dudley articles? 3

I am looking for these two articles by Darle W. Dudley. I have looked everywhere and cannot find these. If anyone has a copy of them please let me know. I would be more than willing to pay for them.

"When Splines need stress Control" by Darle W. Dudley
Product Engineering 12/23/57

"How to design Involute Splines by Darle W. Dudley
Product Engineering 10/28/87

724napier-

Is there some particular bit of information in these articles about spline design that you wish to know? I've read the older article by Dudley, and while it provides some good general guidance for designing splines, it is also a bit dated.

Both articles are included in the book "Gear Design and Application" by Nicholas P Chironis, 1967, McGRaw-Hill. Pages 310 and 316.

tbuelna, I have seen these articles referenced in quite a few papers regarding splines. I was more or less curious to see them, since they are referenced in so many different places.

israelkk, the full articles are in the book? Or is some of the information just listed in the book? I will have to look into it.

The full articles to my best knowledge. Chironis was the editor of the Product Engineering magazine and all his books are collections of the articles from the magazines.

Here's a link to scans I took of the article by Dudley -

The equations shown in Machinery's Handbook for calculating spline loads are derived from Dudley's article.

The on-line calculator via this link is also based on Dudley's article -
