Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method of orienting a cylinder with an oblique end such that the slant of same faces a preferred direction. To this end, a special fixture is used which includes a central axial bore having a cylindrical surface which engages in bearing-like fashion with the oblique-ended cylinder. On opposite sides of the bore, are a magnet for imposing a magnetic field across the bore and across therefrom a dowel pin stop. The magnetic field acts to rotate the oblique-ended cylinder about the common axis of the bore and cylinder into a generally preferred position wherefrom the oblique-ended cylinder can come to its final resting position against the dowel pin stop. The method for using this fixture requires the alignment of the axis of the fixture and the cylinder, the moving of the two together engaging their cylindrical bearing parts to permit controlled rotary motion under the influence of magnetism and the abutting against a stop which sets the slanted portion of the oblique ended cylinder in a precise position.
