Well done, A.J. This would make a good primer for a course on machine shaft alignment. Especially for the Reverse Indicator Method.

The takeoff for the 3" 45° fitting is 1 7/8"

The takeoff for the 4" 45° fitting is 2 1/2"

T1 length =T2 length = T3 length = T1 travel - 2 * 3" takeoff = 80 5/8" - 2*1 7/8" = 76 7/8"

T4 length = T4 travel - 2 * 4" takeoff = 80 5/8" - 2*2 1/2" = 75 5/8"

A = A length - 3" takeoff = 26¹/₂” - 1 7/8" = 24 5/8"

B = B length - 3" takeoff = 29” - 1 7/8" = 27 1/8"

C = C length - 4" takeoff = 33 ⅛” - 2 1/2" = 30 5/8"

D = D length - 3" takeoff = 57¹/₂” - 1 7/8" = 55 5/8"

E = E length - 3" takeoff = 55” - 1 7/8" = 53 1/8"

F = F length - 4" takeoff = 50 ⅞” - 2 1/2" = 40 3/8"
