Well sort of....... anyway for a mere $ 5.00 in 1910 you could have bought this micrometer set that can be switched around to do all sorts of things. It is pretty small and lightweight, the outside frame is only 4"...... This was patented on Aug. 9 1910 by Herman Sauter and assigned to the Gilbert, Harris & Co. of Chicago. One thing about this is there are no graduations on it, just lines... so you would have to set it with a standard or other tool and then measure so many thousands (lines) from that point. This example was found years ago and is the only complete one I know of..... it even has a fold out set of instructions and graphics in the lid.......... anyone see one or know anything more? Thanks
