I found this article ,
Some Micrometer Measuring Instruments from Machinery ( Sept 1904) by A.L. Monrad.
Machinery
when I was looking up another link I had saved for another thread.
Given the number of rare and unusual micrometers that have been mentioned in other threads here lately I thought I would post this story.
It would be interesting to find out if that example still survives somewhere or if someone who had read the article in the day was inspired to make something similar for themselves .
Maybe one will turn up some day as an auction , estate sale or flea market find to be identified .
It seems the author has a rather impressive background .
I would guess that few people today would have the time and ability to even consider making something like this even in a well equipped modern shop.
Regards,
Jim
