A system for providing state information for at least a part of a tool positioning machine embodied as manipulating machine or as coordinate measuring machine is provided. The system comprises the tool positioning machine defining a machine coordinate system and having a base and a machine structure. The structure comprises a tool head and structural components for linking the tool head to the base, at least one drive mechanism for providing movability of the machine structure relative to the base, a position determining system for deriving at least one coordinate of the machine structure in the machine coordinate system and a controlling unit adapted for controlling movement of the machine structure. The system comprises a calibration setup. A calibration component is mounted on the machine structure and defines a moveable reference point, another calibration component is arranged with defined spatial relation to the base and provides a nominal calibration position.

A seal for a glove box panel includes a first face and a second face parallel to each other and designed to come into contact with a profile of the glove box and against an internal face of the panel. The seal includes an internal circumferential edge with a rim projecting beyond the first face.

An apparatus for installing an electrical box includes a shaft including one or more distance markings disposed along a length of the shaft; and a gauge block. The gauge block includes at least one slit sized to accommodate a sidewall of the electrical box, and one or more holes disposed along a length of the at least one slit. The one or more holes are sized to accommodate ribbing on the sidewall of the electrical box. A through hole extends through a length of the block in a same direction as the length of the at least one slit. At least one set screw secures the gauge block in place along the length of the shaft when the shaft is inserted in the through hole in the gauge block.

Systems and methods for brake cable adjustment are disclosed herein. In this regard, a gage block tool for adjusting a brake cable may comprise a body comprising, a first member extending in a first direction, the first member having a first length and a first thickness, and a second member extending in a second direction, the second member having a second length and a second thickness. At least one of the first member or the second member may be sized and configured to be placed between a stop and a lever of a brake valve, the brake cable connected between the lever and a brake handle being properly adjusted when the gage block sandwiched between the lever and the stop contacts both the lever and the stop while the brake handle is in a park lock position.
