Flange adjusts center of rotation of gimble-mounted objects such as telescopes. Three aluminum plates are machined to have interlocking orthogonal keys and ways. Outer plate is mounted to shaft. Inner plate is attached to object. Middle and inner plate slide along on axis. Screws slide in slots parallel to ways for adjustment, then tighten to lock position along each axis. Device is similar to crossed ways found on industrial machine tools, but simpler, lighter, and much smaller.
