A method and device for allowing accurate sequential hole drilling locations in multiple floor and ceiling joists that includes a means for marking multiple holes without the need to measure, level and mark each individual joist or to run plumb lines. In one embodiment, the laser sighting device of the present invention includes a main body housing, a centering cone, an extension tube, and an adjustable center or bracket. A laser unit is positioned within the device and emits a laser from one end of the centering cone. A level allows accurate adjustment of pitch and yaw angles for a positioned orientation of the laser sighting device.

Laser sighting device and method

The crystallinity of polyesters prepared from macrocyclic poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) oligomers is reduced and cracking of molded parts suppressed by the incorporation therein of at least one other linear or macrocyclic poly(alkylene dicarboxylate) oligomer, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or poly(1,4-butylene isophthalate). It is preferably employed in macrocyclic form. The resulting compositions can be combined with inert fillers and polymerized.

Macrocyclic polyester compositions convertible to linear polyesters of

Thermoplastic polyester composites are prepared from compositions comprising a filler, at least one macrocyclic poly(alkylene dicarboxylate) oligomer and a polymerization catalyst therefor. The use of polyester oligomer mixtures is preferred, and they may be present in liquid or solid form. The polyester composites prepared therefrom are characterized by excellent properties including solvent resistance.
