Explanation:
I have no idea, what is going on with the server. I put in the answer three times, it counts but does not appear and I do not get a feedback that my answer was accepted. COMPUTERS (sorry for that)

I presume this refers to aligning machine parts, namly "toe" alignment

On some older alignment machines (to which this term seem to refer to), toe-in was measured at each wheel by referencing the problems with getting the steering wheel straight the first time and necessitated corrective adjustments before the wheel was straight. Newer machines reference the vehicles centerline by putting instruments on all four wheels.
