This chapter talks about another alignment method used to measure the shaft centerline position, typically for long distance between shaft ends, called the Face - Face method. The Face - Face method would be preferable to the Shaft to Coupling Spool method if either the dial indicator brackets cannot be attached to the machinery shafts or if their is an intentional centerline offset.
