Climax Ring & Pinion Gears

[wes]

Should anyone have the need, I have 3D CADD stp files for 12" to the foot Climax Mfg. Co. Ring and Pinion Gears. Pattern No. 217 (16 tooth - same pattern for horned pinion gear) for the Pinion Gear and Pattern No. 509 for the Ring Gear. These were taken form the original Climax drawings to match the originals and those produced for CN 1551 (at Cass).

The original Climax Pattern 217 provided for an undercut of the Pinion Gears (approximately 1/8"). That was eliminated from this pattern per the existing pinion gears on CN 1551.

I have now posted a catalog of available Climax "casting" on a Shapeways site at: www.shapeways.com/shops/ClimaxShop

That includes the Bevel Skew Pinion and Ring Gears. Just in 1/8th Scale for now. They are all in 3D CADD so it someone wants a different scale let me know. No markup on the Shapeways site. Look for other vendors and ways to have the parts done and I will assist.

Hope this encourages all of those of your who procrastinate when facing making Bevel Skew Gears.
