Abstract
An apparatus for accurately aligning a replacement electrode with a working electrode. The replacement electrode is suspended from a trolley movable in two directions in a rectilinear pattern. The trolley is moved initially in a first direction into general transverse alignment with the working electrode position, then displaced in a second direction against a fixed stop to overlie the desired electrode position. The trolley is adjusted finally in the first direction during its travel toward the fixed stop by contacting a mast on the trolley with a fixed guide adjacent the stop.
