MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

SECTION 1. THE MICROMETER. SECTION 2. THE VERNIER CALIPER. SECTION 3. THE PLANIMETER

§ 1. THE MICROMETER

99. Description. The instruments commonly used for precise measurements in the shop are gages and calipers. Of all these instruments in their various forms, only two require explanation. These are the micrometer and the vernier calipers.

As the name indicates, the micrometer is an instrument which is used in taking small measurements, "micro" meaning small and "meter" meaning measure. The instruments in the form here shown are made in -, 1-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch sizes, the size being the opening between the spindle and the anvil. They are graduated both in U. S. and metric units, but the two are not combined in the same instrument owing to the difference in the screw. The parts of a micrometer are named as follows:

F, the frame,

A, the anvil,

S, the spindle,

B, the hub or barrel,

T, the thimble.

The spindle is attached to the thimble at the point P. The concealed portion of the spindle within the sleeve and
