Description: |
|
This is a fairly typical looking marking gage, with a couple of
very interesting features. It holds a standard marking point at
one end of the bar and a pencil at the other, allowing it to mark
either kind of line. In order to accomodate markig from either
point, the bar is graduated in both directions-- left to right on
the side of the bar, and right-to-left on the top.
There is also a point centered in the bottom of the head, which allows
the gage to be used as a compass or trammels.
Stanley produced a a gage which used the pencil/point idea a few
years later (the #65-3/4), but it is not thought to be produced
under this patent. Interestingly, Stanley's offering did not have
the reversed scale, so there was no way to set the pencil mark other
than with a ruler.
