Abstract
A system and method for holding and aligning spherical shaped devices is disclosed. The system aligns spherical shaped devices that have at least two hollows formed on an outer surface thereof. The system includes a first knob for aligning with the first hollow and a second knob for aligning with the second hollow. The first knob is relatively small, as compared with the first hollow, while the second knob is relatively large, as compared with the second hollow. The system may also include a third knob for securing the spherical shaped device with the first and second knobs.
