Abstract
A method and apparatus for positioning an object in space in such a manner as to permit duplication of the positioning in a precise position wherein three characteristic points on the object wherein the coordinates of the points are determined and are electrically synthesized for generation of a signal for reproducing the points on the coordinates, and utilizing a television camera and monitor forming an image of the object on the screen and causing the points of the object to coincide with the reference points by means of a photosensitive sensor in such a manner that the characteristic points on the body are displaced so as to coincide with the synthesized points on the television screen.
