2. Nail (fastener) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_(fastener)

   These nails were known as cut nails because they were produced by cutting iron bars into rods; they were also known as square nails because of their roughly rectangular cross section. The cut-nail process was patented in the U.S. by Jacob Perkins in 1795 and in England by Joseph Dyer, who set up machinery in Birmingham. The process was designed ...

   Hardened and ground plug gauge Replaceable thread and plug gauges. These gauges are referred to as plug gauges; they are used in the manner of a plug.They are generally assembled from standard parts, where the gauge portion is interchangeable with other gauge pieces (obtained from a set of pin type gauge blocks) and a body that uses the collet principle to hold the gauges firmly.

   The gauge is placed against the edge to be checked and any light leakage between the blade and edge indicates a mismatch that requires correction. Ring gauge: a cylindrical ring of steel whose inside diameter is finished to gauge tolerance and is used for checking the external diameter of a cylindrical object. Strain gauge

6. Thread pitch gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pitch_gauge

   Three different sets of threading gauges. The uppermost gauge is an ISO metric pitch gauge, the larger gauge in the center is for measuring the Acme thread form, and the lower gauge is for Whitworth screws. A thread gauge, [1] also known as a screw gauge [2] or pitch gauge, [3] is used to measure the pitch or lead of a screw thread.

7. Snap gauge - Wikipedia

   Snap go/no go gauge and indicator snap gauge. A snap gauge is a form of go/no go gauge.It is a limit gauge with permanently or temporarily fixed measurement aperture(s) (gaps) which is used to quickly verify whether an outside dimension of a part matches a preset dimension or falls within predefined tolerances.

8. Bore gauge - Wikipedia

   The gauge is then removed and measured with the aid of a micrometer anvil heads, move the head of the gauge around while making the measurement to ensure you get the maximum reading. Grasp the gauge near the head to aid in your maneuvering of the gauge while adjusting the micrometer so it just stops the gauge's motion at one spot only.

9. Birmingham gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

   The Birmingham gauge is also known as the Stubs Iron Wire Gauge or Birmingham Wire Gauge and is distinct from the Stubs Steel Wire Gauge and the British Standard Wire Gauge. It is commonly referred to simply as gauge (abbreviated as G ), [ 3 ] but this should not be confused with the French gauge , a separate system used for measuring the outer ...
