Abstract
A shaft alignment wherein a pair of substantially identical clamping members are mounted on the shafts which are to be aligned, with each clamping member having a peripheral reading surface which is generally flat. Each clamping member has a support rod adjustably positioned thereon and projecting generally axially in a skewed relationship relative to the axial direction of the shaft. Each support rod mounts a gauge assembly adjustably positioned for cooperation with the flat reading surface on the other clamping member. The clamping members are mounted on the shafts so as to be generally axially aligned, whereupon the skewed relationship of the support rods permits them to be positioned in generally parallel relationship with one another, with the respective gauge assemblies being adjustably positioned to cooperate with the reading surface on the opposed clamping member.
