While Rim and Face Alignment has been around for a long time, it s still as new and modern in its usefulness as it ever was; in tandem with many more formats in this book than are commonly used.

So let s begin with an electric motor; say about 10 horsepower that has to be precision aligned to a specific pump. Both the pump and motor are to be mounted on a base that when finished will look much the same as described in FIGURE 2 .
The motor is placed in its approximate finished position about 8" from the pump. FIGURE 1 below shows a viable mounting of dial indicators in the process of procuring readings from the zero setting at 12 o clock (broken lines) to the (solid lines) 6 o clock position.
Some calibrated eyeballing , a scale measure, and...
