Abstract
Two classes of inexpensive systems are described for performing dynami c, high-resolution measurements of the mechanical alignment between co mponents of a large collider detector. One is a three-point optical sy stem based on video cameras and simple frame processing, while the oth er is a multipoint stretched wire with three-dimensional displacement readout. Test results are presented for both types of devices, and an application is outlined for a large muon system.
