Abstract: Gauges for checking the radial orientation of integrally shrouded blades wherein the shrouds abut one another to form a generally continuous shroud, the gauge having a base which fits a cylindrical surface on the rotor and extends generally radially therefrom, the blade being contacted in at least two points by the gauge which has an anvil which moves as the orientation of the blade varies and a micrometer head which measures the movement of the anvil to give a digital indication of the orientation of the blade.
