Abstract
An inspection tool is disclosed that is used to accurately position an object to be inspected on the reference surface of a surface plate. The tool includes a first rail and a second rail having an end rigidly attached to the center of the first rail to form a T-structure. Each of the two rails includes an upwardly facing surface for receiving the object to be inspected. Threaded holes are formed in the opposite ends of the first rail and another threaded hole is formed in the free end of the second rail. Adjusting screws are arranged to extend through the threaded holes so that the ends thereof define a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axes of the holes. The object to be inspected is placed upon the upwardly facing surfaces and the three screws adjusted to achieve a true parallelism of certain features on the object with the reference surface.
