ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed to measure the angular orientation of two surfaces. The device consists of two frames which are aligned to the surfaces. A continuous string is routed between the frames and put under tension. A position indicating instrument on one mounting frame monitors the string position. The frames are then flipped over or switched between surfaces. The string is tensioned a second time. The measured change in string position is used to determine the angular orientation.
