NOTE 48.  By inscribing lines on the bracket BR, and on the test mould, indicating the points at which the dial gauges Dy and Dx respectively contact these components, and by marking the position of the dial gauge Dmp on the mould, the need to  measure the distances d1, d2, d3 and d4 in every test using any particular test mould can be eliminated.
