Abstract
A sleeve which may be used to align a reciprocable member with operations performed in structurally discrete abutting members. The sleeve has coaxial axially extending diametral portions each having different diameters. The juncture of the diametral portions forms an annular face which abuts the outer face of one member when a first diametral portion of the sleeve is placed in a respectively sized bore formed therein. The second abutting member may then be aligned with the first member by locating the respective structure such that a bore formed in the second member receives the second diametral portion of the sleeve. A bore formed in the sleeve may be used to slidingly support a first translatable member. In this manner the respective positions of the abutting structures are established and respectively aligned with a translatable member interacting therebetween.
