Abstract
A probe assemblage for vibration meters of the hand-held variety which exhibits a substantially flat frequency response through 1,000 Hz. The probe structure includes a flat contact surface at its tip for hand-held engagement with the vibratory surface being monitored. The tip is spaced from an articulated ball and socket-like joint which provides for vibration transfer to an associated transducer such as an accelerometer. A compliant material such as Teflon or the like may be positioned intermediate the curved vibration transfer and receiving surfaces of the articulated joint within the probe.
