Abstract

A rigid stem dial gauge, such as a thermometer has an assembly which connects the thermometer stem to the pointer shaft and permits the two parts to be disposed at a range of angles to each other. The assembly comprises a pair of cylindrical housings, one mounted coaxially and rotatably within the other, the inner housing being connected to the thermometer stem shaft of the gauge and the outer housing being connected to the pointer shaft. The stem and the shaft are interconnected by a flexible drive accommodated within the housings.
