ABSTRACT:
The gauge is a flat metal block with a precisely finished planar bottom face by which it can be supported on the upper planar face of a conventional granite gauge block for lateral sliding therealong while retaining a fixed angular relation to the planar face of the block. The base has an open end V-slot with planar faces which extend at 90.degree. to the plane of the bottom face, from the bottom to the top of the base, and which diverge outwardly at 90.degree. to each other to, and open through, a side of the base, to provide positioning jaws. The base, while resting on the granite block, can be slid to cause these faces of the positioning jaws to engage the circumferential wall of an article of circular cross section while one end of the article rests on the face of the granite block. The base carries one or more generally upright supporting posts arranged to detachably support, in adjusted positions, dial indicators of the movable feeler type with the feelers in operative engagement with circumferential and upper end surfaces, respectively, of the article while the article is rotated about its axis with its circumferential surface held against the jaw faces.
The gauge is useful for checking, concurrently, out-of-roundness, dimensional accuracy and centricity of internal and external diameters of annular articles, and of their laterally exposed circumferential surfaces, angular relations of the ends of an article to the laterally exposed surfaces and to each other; and squareness of the end surfaces relative to the axis of the article or to the face of the granite gauge block.
