Hi,
Please help. I have an antique Dudley padlock which I'm trying to figure out the combination for. This one is brass with a black face using numbers 0-39. The sticking points are
7
10-11
14-15
18
22
25-26
29
32-33
36-37
39-02
One thing I can perhaps contribute to the group is the following link to the Patent Office Search Page http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/srchnum.htm
Where I used the patent number on the lock, 1736183, to view the patent(s) which contains diagrams and detailed descriptions of the lock. Another patent, 1655002 on Permutation Locks, is referenced in 1736183 and is also available. You need a free browser plug-in to view the tiff images, which is linked to from the Patent Office website.
