| Description: |  | A fascinatingly complex marking gage-- it uses two
	 interlocking arms whose position relative to each other is
	 controlled by a thumbscrew, as well as a rack and pinion system
	 for moving the head. It's way more complicated than it needs to
	 be, which is one of the things that makes it so interesting. |  |
