Abstract
A shift detecting element originates from an element cavity, a portion of which is defined in one portion of a mold section and another portion of which is defined in another cooperating mold section. The detecting element is cast as an appurtenance to a principal casting and is configured such that it can be easily removed from the principal casting. Misalignment or separation is determined by inspection and/or measurement of the cast shift detecting element.
