Payload shrouds

I am trying to find the dimensions of the larger payload shrouds currently in use - Delta IV, Atlas 5, H-II, Proton, Ariane 5, Soyuz 2, etc.  A Google search does not immediately help.  I am after both length and diameter, preferably also the length of the conical and cylindrical sections as well.

Thanks

Jon

Re: Payload shrouds

Two sites might be useful:


Space Launch Report.
http://spacelaunchreport.com/library.html

Space Launch Vehicles.
http://www.b14643.de/Spacerockets_1/index.htm

They both give the diameter and the lengths of fairings. Then from the images
of the vehicles you can calculate the dimensions of the conical and cylindrical
portions of the fairings.
