Abstract: Universal directional orientation of the vibratory sensing face of a transducer is achieved by mounting the transducer on horizontal axles journaled by surrounding sleeves mounted on the depending end of a vertical standard attached to a moving carrier. The sleeves and axles are interconnected with manual controls by links and universal joints at the end portions of the standard. Manual controls are located at the upper limit of the standard for disposing the transducer in selected directions by control links extending between the manual controls and the universal joint controlled mounting of the transducer at the depending end portion of the standard.
