epicycloidal trains

(OP)
Hello all,
i would like to do a classification about the different configurations of epicycloidal trains of 4, 5 and 6 elements. I have heard that for each group of elements (4,5 or 6) there is a certain number of different configurations that can be made. Do you know where can i find different configurations of these trains? Is any catalog about this on internet?
Thank you  

RE: epicycloidal trains

Hi inazio,

here attached: comes from an '68 german textbook. They say these are the technically effective layouts and develop from a) to e) without splitting further into different sub-configurations.
So, did you find different configurations, in the meantime?
Regards

Roland

Here is the information from Allen Gear's line of Epicyclic gears and gear boxes.  i haven't checked their website so there maybe a lot of information available.
