Abstract
Apparatus for measuring vehicle wheel alignment comprising a yoke having a pair of aligned center pins engageable with a transverse axis in the vehicle; a collimated beam projector connectable to the yoke and adapted to project its beam at right angles to the axis of the center pins, and longitudinally of the vehicle with reference to the transverse axis and a target for the beam so attachable to a wheel of the vehicle that alignment of the wheel can be measured. In one embodiment the target is a mirror and the projector is provided with a transverse scale for measuring the reflected beam. In the other embodiment the target comprises a set of scales hung or clamped to the wheel.

Apparatus for measuring wheel alignment of a vehicle which has a transverse axis and a longitudinal axis, comprising:
- a yoke having a pair of aligned centre pins engageable with the vehicle along the transverse axis of the vehicle;
- a collimated beam projector connectable to the yoke and adapted to project its beam at a right angle to the transverse axis, and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle;
- and
- a target for the beam, the target being so attachable to a wheel of the vehicle that alignment of the wheel can be measured.
