2. L. S. Starrett Company - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._S._Starrett_Company

   In 1890, L.S. Starrett patented a micrometer with other improvements, transforming the rough version of this tool into a modern micrometer. [5] During the same year Starrett began making and refining saw blades, and continues to be a major manufacturer as of 2015. [citation needed] In 1895 Starrett patented the divider with trammel. [6]

3. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

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

   A micrometer, sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge (MSG), is a device incorporating a calibrated screw widely used for accurate measurement of components [1] in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers.

4. Calipers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

   The calipers in the diagram show a primary reading on the metric scale of about 2.475 cm (2.4 cm read from the main scale plus about 0.075 cm from the vernier scale). Calipers often have a "zero point error": meaning that the calipers do not read 0.000 cm when the jaws are closed.

5. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_(distance...

   Ideal test indicator pushed. Prior to modern geared dial mechanisms, test indicators using a single lever or systems of levers were common. The range and precision of these devices were generally inferior to modern dial type units, with a range of 10/1000 inch to 30/1000 inch, and precision of 1/1000 inch being typical.

6. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

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

   micrometer, sometimes known as a "micrometer screw gauge" a device incorporating a calibrated screw used widely for precise measurement of small distances in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers.

7. Graduation (scale) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduation_(scale)

   A ruler with two linear scales: the metric and imperial.It includes shorter minor graduations and longer major graduations. A graduation is a marking used to indicate points on a visual scale, which can be present on a container, a measuring device, or the axes of a line plot, usually one of many along a line or curve, each in the form of short line segments perpendicular to the line or curve.
