Abstract
Positioning of a pipe longitudinally and rotationally for each of a number of bends is facilitated by means of a fitting attached to the pipe end and connected with longitudinal and rotational displacement encoders that generate electrical signals. The signals drive a quantitative display of present actual longitudinal and rotational position of the pipe so that no sliding or rotational stops need be employed. One of the encoders is arranged for connection to a fixture which can be used for adjustment of the length of a depth of bend stop rod, employing the same quantitative display.
