Gauge block markings

I've managed to pick up a set of gauge blocks which were described as Grade 2 and the box says grade 2. The box says Huddersfield guages company. The markings on all of the blocks have the size followed by a number underneath. Some of them have a 1, and some a 2. Also they're etched with "CEJ" (initials of the inventor??) on each block. I just wondered if the number represents the grade and if the blocks may have been made up with replacements over the years from different grades

Cheers

I expect CEJ stands for the inventor, Carl Edvard Johansson.

I don't know why they would be present.
Perhaps his company made them.
Or perhaps it's a reference to a patent.

Slarti42uk,
I have simliar set of Huddersfield/CEJ gauges. Each individual block has the CEJ initials, my presumption is that they were manufactured by CEJ and Huddersfield Tool and Gauge had the marketing rights for the UK. They were simply sold in a box bearing both companies name.
