The equipment is made up of a strong base
frame and comes with Channel, Equal Angle, Semicircle, and Z-Section. There is
a standard length for each of the four sections in M. S. Each has an end clamp
that can be fixed to the rigid bracket. The load can be moved using a unique
load hanger, allowing two dial gauges to establish the vertical plane of the
shear centre for the specific segment.
