<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 290953, member: 54"]Noooooooooo-ooo; fooled y’all huh? ‘Cept Terry; his typically curt reply contained the key word “Standards.” Before we had digital measuring tools for checking machined parts, everyone used the micrometer caliper, or “mike” for short. The analog mechanical micrometer caliper had to be kept calibrated. I think the Mikemaster is a set of standards manufactured exactly to various diameters between 1/10”;and 1”. The company calibration department checks the caliper against the standards say every month and a sticker with pertinent cal info is put on the mike. Mikemaster can also be used for training on how to read a mike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
