2. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

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

   0.01–20 mm dial indicator. Probe indicators typically consist of a graduated dial and needle driven by a clockwork (thus the clock terminology) to record the minor increments, with a smaller embedded clock face and needle to record the number of needle rotations on the main dial. The dial has fine gradations for precise measurement.

3. Boring (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring_(manufacturing)

   A part's-eye view of a boring bar. Hole types: Blind hole (left), through hole (middle), interrupted hole (right). In machining, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) by means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several such tools), such as in boring a gun barrel or an engine cylinder.

4. Bore gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_gauge

   A ring gauge can be used to obtain higher accuracy at a higher cost and higher time requirement. When a dial bore gauge is set using a ring gauge, overall accuracy can be within 0.0001 inches or 0.00254 millimeter. [2] A dial bore gauge has a contact needle that is housed inside the head of the dial bore gauge. The needle is moved when ...

5. Go/no-go gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go/no-go_gauge

   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.

6. Torrington Company - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrington_Company

   In the 1930s, a research engineer named Edmund K. Brown invented a new kind of needle bearing, which eventually became the majority of the company's business. [3] After World War II , in which the US had a large need for needle bearings for military aircraft like B-29 bombers , the production of bearings became the company's central product line.

7. Birmingham gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

   The Birmingham gauge ranges from 5/0 or 00000, the lowest gauge number corresponding to the largest size of 0.500 inches (12.7 mm), to 36, the highest gauge number corresponding to the smallest size of 0.004 inches (0.10 mm). The increments between gauge sizes are not linear and vary. [2] At higher gauge numbers, the increment between the two ...

8. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

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

   Bore gauge: a device used for measuring holes. Hole gauge [3] used to gage internal dimensions of bores that are either too small in diameter for an inside micrometer, and have greater economy than a bore gage or other precision internal gage. Caliper: a device used to measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object.

9. Feeler gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeler_gauge

   Feeler gauge set (25 pieces, 0.03~1.0 mm measurement range) Measuring the valve clearance of a DOHC engine, between camshaft and tappet (here: 0.004 in ≈ 0.10 mm). A feeler gauge is a tool used to measure gap widths. Feeler gauges are mostly used in engineering to measure the clearance between two parts. [1]
