FOREWO R D
For many years there was a growing desire for a national standard for engineering drawings, and as far back as
December 1914 the ASME approved and published the report of its Committee on Standards for Cross-Sections.
The subject of standard practice was laid before the ASME Standardization Committee in April 1925 and in May the
ASME Council voted to approve the recommendation of the Committee that the American Standards Association be re-
quested to authorize the organization of a nationally representative committee under its procedure to develop standards
for drawings and drafting room practice. This recommendation was considered favorably and a preliminary conference
was called by the ASA for October 14, 1925, and a general conference for December 4, 1925.
At the meeting of the ASA Standards Council, December 1925, the project was finally approved, its scope was out-
lined, and the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
were designated as joint sponsors. The organization meeting of the sectional committee was held September 24, 1926,
at which Dean Franklin deR. Furman was elected chairman. Subsequently six subcommittees were appointed. These sub-
committees undertook the formulation of tentative drafts of the several sections of the final reoort which were distributed
for criticism and comment.
In the spring of 1931 an Editing Committee, Dr. Thomas E. French, Chairman, combined and harmonized the final
reports of the several subcommittees. The proposed standard was approved by the sectional committee and was sub-
sequently approved by the sponsor societies and transmitted to the American Standards Association for approval and
designation as an American Standard, a status which was granted in May, 1935.
The sectional committee authorized the revision of the American Standard in December, 1940, and the Subcommittee
on Revision was appointed in September, 1941. A draft dated August, 1944 received the approval of the sectional com-
mittee. The proposal was subsequently submitted to the sponsors and to the American Standards Association for their
approval. This approval with designation as an American Standard was received on April 12, 1946.
In 1948, the scope of the project was enlarged, and a revision was begun in view of the increased drafting stand-
ardization work in Great Britain and Canada. An Executive Committee was formed in 1949 to supervise the work. It was
decided to publish the eventual revision in separate sections. Upon completion and sectional committee approval of the
last of the first six sections, they were sent to sponsors and to ASA for approval. Succeeding sections, as approved by
the sectional committee were subsequently submitted to sponsors and ASA.
A section, Gears, Splines and Serrations, Y14.7, was approved and published as an American Standard on April 8,
1958.
Recognizing the need for a universal gear drafting standard, a COR Committee was organized, in December 1961, for
the purpose of coordinating the views of the SAE, Y14, the Military and the AGMA on a drafting standard for gears
which could provide a fundamental document for wide national use of all interested parties.
During this time the American Standards Association became-the United States of America Standards Institute and, as
of October 6, 1969, the American National Standards Institute, Inc. In addition, the Society of Automotive Engineers be-
came a cosponsor, along with the ASEE and the ASME of a l l Y14 Drafting Practices.
It was recommended by the SAE Drawing Standards Committee and concurred in by the members of the COR Com-
mittee that this section be divided into two parts with Part 1 covering spur, helical, double-helical, and rack gears.
Part 2 would cover matched sets, worms and wormgears and conical type gears. Also, in coordination with the AGMA
Nomenclature Committee, Part 2 will contain, as an appendix, some fundamental gear nomenclature and abbreviations.
After eight meetings, the COR Committee was incorporated into Subcommittee 7 of Standards Committee Y14. Many
drafts were circulated among the members of AGMA, AOA, SAE, Y14 and the Military for suggestions and criticisms.
This section covering Part 1 received the approval of the Y14 Standards Committee and was subsequently approved by
the sponsor societies and submitted to the American National Standards Institute. It was designated an American
National Standard on November 1. 1971.
