Gauge blocks (also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, slip gauges, or Jo blocks) are a system for producing precision lengths. The individual gauge block is a metal or ceramic block that has been precision ground and lapped to a specific thickness. Gauge blocks come in sets of blocks with a range of standard lengths.
Gauge blocks wrung together and held horizontally. The blocks are held together solely by the adhesion of their extremely flat surfaces, which is so strong that it easily supports their weight. Optical contact bonding is a glueless process whereby two closely conformal surfaces are joined, being held purely by intermolecular forces.
Wringing may refer to: Wringing (gauge blocks) , the temporary attachment of gauge blocks to each other Wringer, a device that extracts liquid by action of twisting or squeezing (see: mangle (machine) )
Parallels that have a good surface tolerance can be lightly bonded together by sliding or rotating two parallels together, and the smooth surfaces allows a temporary molecular-attraction to take place - this is known as wringing and is also found with gauge blocks.
The stiction, however, in enhanced by the wringing, forcing the surfaces harder together.

I added a cross-reference. — ¾-10 22:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC) Thanks. That is helpful.
