Let H be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let G_ (H) be the set of all closed subspaces of H whose dimension and codimension both are infinite. We investigate (not necessarily surjective) transformations of G_ (H) sending every pair of subspaces to an equivalent pair of subspaces; two pairs of subspaces are equivalent if there is a linear isometry sending one of these pairs to the other. Let f be such a transformation. We show that there is a unique up to a scalar multiple linear or conjugate linear isometry L: H H such that for every X G_ (H) the image f (X) is the sum of L (X) and a certain closed subspace O (X) orthogonal to the range of L. In the case when H is separable, we give the following sufficient condition to assert that f is induced by a linear or conjugate linear isometry: if O (X) =0 for a certain X G_ (H), then the same holds for all X G_ (H).
