No problem.
What I recall of it was he had a laser pen (?) that he attached on the end of the shaft (can't remember how) and he clamped the shaft in what I think was the clamping device he used for the frequency meter (he has one of John Kaufman's machines). He would put the shaft in parallel to the workbench (if that isn't obvious!) and twang it parallel with the workbench as well with the laser pointing at the wall so you would see the visual pattern quite easily. Some oscillated a fair bit and the "good" ones eventually oscillated at a relatively flat line. He would rotate the shaft until he found the "best" FLO pattern. (I may not be using the best terminology here).
It was quite simple looking. What I am hoping to get more information on is how he attached the laser pointer and where he got it etc. The clamping would also be a question as I do not have a freq. meter and I think I would be "stuck" clamping in a vice.
If I get more info, I will pass it on.

BTW - this is Patrick Inglis that I am speaking of... used to be on ShopTalk but I don't think he is anymore.

Hi Jen: I'd like for you to explain that laser device after you see it if you don't mind.
Thanks John
