Abstract
A thin-walled plate provided with at least one reamed hole for mounting the plate on a centering element which extends through the hole, the largest dimension of the reamed hole in one direction being smaller than the smallest dimension of the centering element in the same direction, and with at least two elongate perforations located adjacent, and at opposite sides of, the hole and spaced from the edge of the hole to define plate portions in the form of bars between the perforations and the hole, the bars being displaceable into the region of the perforations upon insertion of the centering element into the hole.

An assembly comprising:
- a stack of thin-walled plates each provided with at least one reamed hole for mounting the plate on a centering element which extends through the hole, wherein the largest dimension of the reamed hole in one direction, when no centering element is present, is smaller than the smallest dimension of the centering element in the same direction, each said plate being further provided with two elongate perforations located adjacent, and at opposite sides of, said hole, said perforations being spaced from the edge of said hole to define plate portions in the form of bars between said perforations and said hole, and said bars being displaceable into the region of said perforations upon insertion of a centering element into said hole;
- and
- a centering element passing through said hole in each said plate to displace said bars into the regions of their associated perforations and align said plates with one another.
