ABSTRACT:
A device for facilitating the field alignment of the drive and idler wheels of a rail supported S/R machine. Vertical alignment is determined by means of a spirit level at the end of a pivotally mounted bar which is initially set perpendicular to a surface of a base member in magnetic engagement with the side of the wheel, the degree of misalignment being indicated by a dial indicator in contact with the bar. Longitudinal misalignment is determined by a parallelogram assembly one side of which is parallel to the surface of the base member and which includes a pair of spaced apart pins, one stationary and one movable, which engage the rail under the influence of a biasing force applied to the parallelogram assembly. The extent and direction of movement of the movable pin indicates the extent and direction of longitudinal misalignment of the wheel as read by a dial indicator in contact with the movable pin. The invention also provdes a lead-in device for placing the alignment device in engagement with the wheel to be aligned.
