Scroll down and download instructions for LightPipe/SightTube & Autocollimator. Page 6 describes theory behind autocollimator.

Also refer to table at top of above web page. The autocollimator is a highly sensitive device for precise collimation and used after collimation with a less sensitive device.
Thanks, those instructions are a lot better than those we were looking at back in the 90s.

I had no idea that what was meant to be adjusted was the secondary mirror.
