An attachment for mechanizing linear measurements

Abstract

The optimum method of mechanizing production measurements of dimensional parameters in engineering, especially under conditions of small-scale mass production in small establishments, consists in the use of universal checking devices which comprise a set of independent compound units, whose production must be undertaken by our instrument-making industry. This solution of the problem frees the customer plants from the necessity of producing special equipment, since they will only have to choose the measuring arrangement and a set of units whose various combinations can be used for checking details of any given type. This method will raise the quality of the control gear and lower its cost, will reduce to a minimum the time required for its assembly and familiarization with its measurement techniques; it will simplify the organization of inspection and speed the measuring.
