(10,20) and comprising a keyway (72) disposed in one assembly and a polarizing pin
(40) mounted in a slotted bore disposed in the other assembly, the pin having a roud
base (42) and a polarizing key (52) extending axially from the base, the base being
provided with a plurality of longitudinally disposed projections (50) extending radially
therefrom. A transverse cross-section of the slotted bore is somewhat smaller than
the transverse cross-section of the base so as to provide a tight interference fitment
therebetween. Another embodiment includes the one assembly having a like slotted bore
and provides a multisided insert (60) having the keyway disposed therein, the insert
and base being interchangeably fitable within the slotted bore of either assembly
(10,20).
