The third edition of this acclaimed bestseller was reorganized, updated, and expanded to be more convenient, intuitive, and to reflect the latest developments in the area. The basics of modeling, each of the five basic alignment methods, and electro-optic measurement methods are now treated in individual chapters. Significant new material reflects recent findings in such areas as offline to running machinery movements while entirely new chapters explore bore and parallel alignment.
