| Description: |  | This is a very unusual adaptation of a standard slitting gage.
	 It uses nicker-like markers at each end of the bar, held in place
	 by friction and their tapered dovetail shape.  The head carries a
	 third point, and is adjustable laterally as well as along the
	 bar.  To prevent the bar from racking, a tongued shoe is used 
	 on the head, registering in a groove on the bar.
	 This layout allows the gage to mark two distances: one registering
	 the face of the head (using one of the markers on the bar), and
	 one registering off the bar itself (using the marker on the head). |  |
