Do you know the pressure angle as this will throw all calculations unless known.
Assuming 20 deg and that they are spur gears then they may have been "corrected" X= +0.5
It might help if you had the details of the mating gear and the centre distance.
I will email you tonight with a program that calculated the above. It may also come in useful in the future. see my site for further free programs
