Checking square with an indicator

[Michael G]

In a recent conversation with BT, the words square and indicator were mentioned in close proximity.
After sub-consciously digesting this for a while I remembered that someone here posted a method for checking squareness of items with an indicator on a modified stand. I can't for the life of me remember much more than that.
Can some one link or repost for me please? I think the original post was in the middle of a long thread so reposting may be better.

Hi Michael, it was RC i think. it works as long as the item has dead parallel sides. The tool and die guy has some vids on it.
Of course you can also set the indicator up off a known square reference and check a single 90deg corner too.

My use of the word square had nothing to do with metrology. It had everything to to with balancing the scales. :U

Perhaps Bob, but you reminded me of the technique and I've been meaning to ask this question for a while.
