   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_metrology

   Standardized measurements are essential to technological advancement, and early measurement tools have been found dating back to the dawn of human civilization. [1] Early Mesopotamian and Egyptian metrologists created a set of measurement standards based on body parts known as anthropic units. These ancient systems of measurements utilized ...

4. Planimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter

   The operator sets the wheel, turns the counter to zero, and then traces the pointer around the perimeter of the shape. When the tracing is complete, the scales at the measuring wheel show the shape's area. When the planimeter's measuring wheel moves perpendicular to its axis, it rolls, and this movement is recorded.

5. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer_(device)

   Digital mics are the type that uses an encoder to detect the distance and displays the result on a digital screen. V mics are outside mics with a small V-block for an anvil. They are useful for measuring the diameter of a circle from three points evenly spaced around it (versus the two points of a standard outside micrometer).

6. Calipers - Wikipedia

   Inside small jaws: used to measure the internal diameter of an object (like a hollow cylinder or pipe). Depth probe, or depth rod: used to measure depths of an object (like a small beaker) or a hole. Main scale (metric): marked every millimeter and helps to measure length correct up to 1 mm. Main scale (imperial): marked in inches and fractions.

7. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)

   In science and engineering, a dimensional gauge or simply gauge is a device used to make measurements or to display certain dimensional information. A wide variety of tools exist which serve such functions, ranging from simple pieces of material against which sizes can be measured to complex pieces of machinery.
