Abstract
The requirements to be satisfied by an optical alignment system are indicated, and a two-mirror system is described. The elementary form of this is restricted in its field of application, but it can be converted into a very sensitive interferometer for toolroom or labor ± tory use. Its errors and coherence conditions are examined. Modifications of the simple system suitable for more practical conditions are described, and their errors are investigated. It is shown that very high accuracies can be obtained without excessive demands on the optical workmanship. The effects of atmospheric irregularities are indicated, and test results are described briefly.
