INSTRUCTIONS. 526 To: Technical Committee Order No. Customer's No. Re: Worm Gearing Jan 10 '12 In the sheet-dated Jan 8. it was not made clear that in a worm wheel section A C B A C B section AA {D. Abbot Anderson} section BB if C/C is central plane and A {Mr Adams} /A; B/B are planes equidistant from C/C, then the profile of section A {Mr Adams} /A & B/B are similar but of opposite hand: therefore either by turning the tracing paper upside down or by considering that the worm on one side has same action as with a forward drive on opposite side it is only necessary to draw one section.
