A gauge or gage is a device used to make measurements, or in order to
display certain dimensional information. A wide variety of tools exist
which serve such functions, ranging from simple pieces of material to
large and complex pieces of machinery. This volume contains a detailed
handbook on the design, construction, and use of these tools, as well as
the various ways they can be used in manufacturing. Contents include:
"Gage Making; Fundamentals, Practice, Development and Efficiency of the
Tools", "Accurate test and Inspecting Gages, Electric and Other
Measuring Machines Together with Special Indicators for Inspecting
Duplicate Work", "Lathe, Planer, Surface and Universal Gages and
Indicators", etc. Many vintage books like this are increasingly scarce
and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this
volume now complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on
the subject of metal work. First published in 1908.
