Abstract
The linkage assembly provides an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the effective length of a rod member pivotally attached between two posts. The adjustment mechanism reduces the need for small-tolerance pivot hole locations in the assembly and permits compensation for arm sag that is attributable to deflection or other factors.
