OK guys & gals,
I have a brand new Brown & Sharpe center gage in my hands. It is much the same as the Starrett and others.
Other than the 60 degree obvious angles, what is the significance and use of the scale on both sides of the "tail" and what is the significance and how does one use the "chart" of associated numbers (eg 3 1/2 .371, 4 .395, 4 1/2 .289, etc) on the "head" side?
In other words, this looks like a pretty simple gage/rule, but it doesn't make sense to me how to use it.
Any help?
