2. Tape measure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_measure

   In March 1963, Stanley Tools introduced the PowerLock tape measure series. [20] It was the first to use a molded ABS case, thumb actuated tape lock, and riveted end hook. By 1989, Stanley was producing more than 200,000 tape measures every day. [21] The first commercialized Digital Tape Measure was released by Starrett in 1995 under the ...

3. Calipers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

   Assuming no systematics affect the measurement (the instrument works perfectly), a complete measurement would then read 2.462 cm ± 0.005 cm. The vernier, dial, and digital calipers directly read the distance measured with high accuracy and precision. They are functionally identical, with different ways of reading the result.

4. Diameter tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter_tape

   A diameter tape (D-tape) is a measuring tape used to estimate the diameter of a cylinder object, typically the stem of a tree or pipe. A diameter tape has either metric or imperial measurements reduced by the value of π. This means the tape measures the diameter of the object. It is assumed that the cylinder object is a perfect circle.

5. Digital read out - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_read_out

   In machine-shop terminology, the complete digital read-out system (consisting of a computer, axis-position encoders, and a numeric display) is referred to by the acronym DRO. Such a system is commonly fitted to machines in today's shops, especially for metal working — lathes, cylindrical grinders, milling machines, surface grinders, boring ...

6. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

   The two basic types with an analogue display are usually easier for the human eyes and brain to interpret, especially if many instrument meters must be read simultaneously. An indicator or needle indicates the measurement on the gauge. The other two types are only displaying digits, which are more complex for humans to read and interpret.

7. 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).

   A chart recorder which is part of a polygraph A circular chart recorder. A chart recorder is an electromechanical device that records an electrical or mechanical input trend onto a piece of paper (the chart). Chart recorders may record several inputs using different color pens and may record onto strip charts or circular charts.
