Linear Offset is the distance "K" in the diagram above, which is the sine of the offset angle multiplied by tonearm effective length.Linear offset is also the average of the two alignment null-point radii.
Brian Kearns wrote an excellent treatise on cartridge alignment, which is in the Vinyl Asylum FAQ. His definition of Linear offset is as follows:
Linear offset: The perpendicular distance between a line through a projection of the cantilever on the record surface, and the centre of the tonearm pivot.
