Abstract
In a co-ordinate measuring machine a probe is connected to the head of the machine by a pivotal arm, and the orientation of the probe is charged by moving the head so that the arm engages a fixed structure and a moment is applied to the arm which is thereby caused to turn and present the probe in the required orientation.
