The course also teaches how to measure both vertical and horizontal runout, identify the factors that influence runout, and correct an out-of-specification runout condition. The course contains guidelines to help the students interpret the runout readings and provides a calculation to aid them in shimming a crosshead to correct a runout that is out of tolerance.
