ABSTRACT
The reverse indicator method is also often called the indicator reverse method or the double
dial method and is shown in Figure 10.1. This method seems to have originated around the
mid to late 1950s in the United States and it is not clear who first developed this technique.
Clark brothers (now Dresser-Rand) adopted this technique for use in aligning their rotating
machinery and Don Cutler (currently working for Thomas-Rexnord) developed the line-to-
point graphing method while working for Clark.
