ABSTRACT:
An improved tube feeler for an instrument which measures the position of points along straight portions of a preformed tube, rod or pipe. The improved tube feeler is rotatably mounted on an offset end portion of the carrier of the instrument. A pair of movable plates having facing tube-engaging surfaces are mounted on a base for movement toward and away from each other to bring the tube-engaging surfaces into contact with opposite sides of the tube. When the tube-engaging surfaces of the pair of plates engage the surface of the tube, an intersection of the projections of a first and a second axis of the instrument intersect the centerline of the tube.
