Moreover, in some cases existing expressions have been added in brackets, In al cases the non-bracketed terms are the ruling ones. DIN 3998 is subdivided into Part 1 for general definitions, Part 2 for cylindrical gears and cylindrical gear pairs, Part 3 for bevel gears and bevel gear pairs as well as hypoid gears and hhypoid gear pairs, and Part 4 for worm gear pairs. In addition, in Supplementary Sheet 1 to DIN 3998 the keywords of the denominations in English and French are listed in alphabetical order and with the serial number under which the denominations appear in Part 1 to Part 4. Recommendation ISO/R 1122 ~ 1969/Add. 2 ~ 1972 contains — like, for example, the Swiss Standard VSM 15 622 also —not only the denominations but also the definitions for geometrical specification factors for gears and gear pairs. The definitions have not been included in DIN 3998 bacause the definitions and specification factors are laid down in DIN 868, DIN 3960, DIN 3971 and DIN 3975, ‘Standardization of the denominations in all DIN standards dealing with gear teeth is envisaged on the basis of the present survey DIN 3998. ‘Some of the illustrations have been taken from the standards VSM 16 622 and NEN 6276 with ‘the approval of the Swiss Standards Association and the Netherlands Standards Institution respectively. *) Obtainable through DIN Deutsches Institut fir Normung e.V., Berlin
