I've been using a Federal 200P-1 Mikemaster indicating micrometer for over 35 years, and it's have served me well.
What I'd like to find out is if anyone has knowledge of history of this insturment.
All I know is that Federal featured the mic in it's 1950 catalog for $65.
Federal ceased production of the Mikemaster sometime in the 1970's after Mitutoyo introduced the 102 indicating mic for $50.
I received my 200P-1 from a foreman at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft back in the mid 70's when I was working as a production
grinder operator and it's been with me ever since. Only service ever needed was the occasional anvil lapping.
The 200P-1 is about half the size of a Etalon indicating mic and fits the hand much better than the Eatlon.
I've owned Etalon, Tesa, Mahr, VIZ, Steinmeyer, and Mitutoyo indicating mics, but none have endured as well the Federal.
Does anyone have the "who, what, when and where" on this mic?
