Old framebuilders often keep tools and tooling.
worth an ask.
I agree that on Gitanes the tip to steerer alignment is the goal.
these frames Often arrived with the rear triangles out of alignment- a quick string test should get you to the basic answer.
now if a properly dished wheel is not center at the brake bridge... a more organic problem.
one dropout off vertically would not be a surprise.
