The two components making up digital web deflection measuring sys-
tems are shown in Figure 4-6, which shows a single crank. One of the
most important advantages of the Indikon system is that it permits taking
readings from outside the engine. In addition, an angle transducer also
allows the crankshaft angle to be read simultaneously.
