Those are some handy calipers Ken, I may have to make a set.
Here are a few more high tech tools to add to the list:
This is a Titan toolmaker's micropscope, for when it absolutely needs to be on center. It superimposes a graduated scale on the workpiece and will read directly on the X and Y axis to .0005" and you can interpolate even closer.
This is a Mitutoyo Dial Bore Gauge that reads bore diameters directly to .0001". I bought it for a job and haven't used it since.

These are my sine bars. The big one is a Brown & Sharpe 5" and the little guy is a no-name 2.5". I probably use the little one the most because it will fit in a vise.
