We examine the relative orientation of radio jets and dusty tori surroundingthe AGN in powerful radio galaxies at z > 1. The radio core dominance R = P(20GHz) /P(500 MHz) serves as an orientation indicator, measuring the ratiobetween the anisotropic Doppler-beamed core extended core emission and theisotropic lobe emission. Assuming a fixed cylindrical geometry for the hot,dusty torus, we derive its inclination i by fitting optically-thick radiativetransfer models to spectral energy distributions obtained with the SpitzerSpace Telescope. We find a highly significant anti-correlation (p < 0.0001)between R and i in our sample of 35 type 2 AGN combined with a sample of 18 z =1 3CR sources containing both type 1 and 2 AGN. This analysis providesobservational evidence both for the Unified scheme of AGN and for the commonassumption that radio jets are in general perpendicular to the plane of thetorus. The use of inclinations derived from mid-infrared photometry breaksseveral degeneracies which have been problematic in earlier analyses. Weillustrate this by deriving the core Lorentz factor Gamma from the R-ianti-correlation, finding Gamma > 1.3.
