  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. Total indicator reading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_indicator_reading

    The indicator traditionally would be a dial indicator; today dial-type and digital indicators coexist. The earliest expansion of "TIR" was total indicated run-out and concerned cylindrical or tapered (conical) parts, where " run-out " (noun) refers to any imperfection of form that causes a rotating part such as a shaft to "run out" (verb), that ...

  4. Run-out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-out

    Typically run-out is measured using a dial indicator pressed against the rotating component while it is turned. Total indicated run-out (TIR) is a technician's term for the measured run-out of any rotating system, including all forms of run-out, at the measured point.

    U.S. Army Signal Corps station on Elk Mountain, Maryland, overlooking the Antietam battlefield.. The Signal Corps in the American Civil War comprised two organizations: the U.S. Army Signal Corps, which began with the appointment of Major Albert J. Myer as its first signal officer just before the war and remains an entity to this day, and the Confederate States Army Signal Corps, a much ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Magnetic_Indicator

    A radio magnetic indicator (RMI) is an alternate ADF display providing more information than a standard ADF. While the ADF shows relative angle of the transmitter with respect to the aircraft, an RMI display incorporates a compass card, actuated by the aircraft's compass system, and permits the operator to read the magnetic bearing to or from ...

  7. Dial (measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial_(measurement)

    A dial is generally a flat surface, circular or rectangular, with numbers or similar markings on it, used for displaying the setting or output of a timepiece, radio, clock, watch, or measuring instrument. [1] Many scientific and industrial instruments use dials with pointers to indicate physical properties.

    Dial indicator, also known as a dial test indicator, dial gauge, or probe indicator an instrument used to accurately measure small linear distances. Feeler gauge: a simple tool used to measure gap widths. Gauge block, (also known as a gage block, Johansson gauge, slip gauge, or Jo block) a precision ground and lapped length measuring standard.

  9. Jewel bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_bearing

    The other major use of jeweled bearings is in sensitive mechanical measuring instruments. They are typically used for delicate linkages that must carry very small forces, in instruments such as galvanometers, compasses, gyroscopes, gimbals, dial indicators, dial calipers, and turbine flow meters. In such instruments, jewel bearings are often ...
