Abstract
Problems aligning a slider with a dimple post in manufacture of head gimbal assemblies for disk drive suspensions are obviated by defining left and right optically readable indicia that are visible when the dimple post is not and that serve as a reference for positioning apparatus rather then the dimple post itself.
