A device is provided for locating a fixed point of reference with respect to a predetermined segment of a rotary member while the latter is disposed in a selected position of rotary adjustment. The device includes a bracket adjustably mounted on a support spaced from the rotary member. Removably mounted on the bracket and adjustable independently thereof is an elongated alignment element. The alignment element and the bracket coact with each other and with the support whereby the end of the element is aligned with the predetermined segment of the rotary member when the latter is in said selected position of rotary adjustment. While the element end is so positioned the bracket is fixedly secured to the support. The element is then removed from the fixedly secured bracket and an elongated detecting piece is mounted on the bracket in substitution of the removed alignment element. An end of the detecting piece is positioned proximate the predetermined segment of the rotary member and defines the fixed point of reference.
