ABSTRACT:
A precise indexing detent comprises a pair of grooved members the plane groove faces of which define a polyhedron within which there may be positioned a sphere in surface contact with all such faces. A detent member comprising a spherical section is situated in close association with the grooved members to govern the positional indexing of movable apparatus parts as in a level-transit surveying instrument or drafting machine protractor head.
