recent find - buster - 10-20-2017
Good evening all, Has anyone ever heard of a G and L- 0 to 1 micrometer. Good,bad or ugly? I can`t seem to find out anything about it. Possibly old antique or classic? I picked it up cheap. It is on it`s way at present. Photo looks good.
Enjoy the weekend,Everett

Giddings and Lewis ? Very respected name in heavy machine tools although I've never heard of them making measurement instruments. But someone probably said the same thing about Brown and Sharpe many moons ago.

This is all I could find on it. Doesn't look good.
