Abstract

A method and apparatus for assembling an articulated track chain (10) affording controlled minimum end play, the chain (10) comprising a plurality of coacting overlapping pairs of oppositely disposed links (20, 22, 24, 26) having integral interconnecting pin and sprocket engaging members (16, 18). An apparatus (122, 124) for locating the coacting, overlapping pairs of links (20, 22, 24, 26) at a preselected position on the pin (16, 18), regardless of the variations in the link thickness due to manufacturing tolerances is disclosed.
