  2. 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. Micrometers are ...

  3. Calipers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

    Digital caliper. Rather than a rack and pinion, digital calipers use a linear encoder. A liquid-crystal display shows the measurement, which often can switch units between millimeters and fractional or decimal inches. All provide for zeroing the display at any point along the slide, allowing the same sort of differential measurements as with ...

    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]
