<p>A first member (7) with a tapered spline (6) and a method of making same, which tapered spline (6) provides an improved backlash-free mating with a second member (10) having a conventional straight spline (9). The method of forming the spline (6) consists of distorting a first member (7) along its central axis (14), broaching the first member (7) to form a straight cylindrical spline, and returning the first member (7) to its undistorted condition whereby the straight spline becomes a tapered spline (6). </p> |
