| Description: |  | This patent features a fairly traditional marking gage with a
	 "divider" gage that could automatically mark a mortise and its
	 centerline. This in and of itself was interesting enough, but the
	 actual piece produced went several steps further...
	 In addition to the marking gage and dividers covered in the
	 original patent, the production models added a second head, and
	 another marking point in the middle of the bar. On top of all
	 this, they stuck long points in the bottom of each head so the
	 tool could be used as a trammel. |  |
