Digging around the box
Photo with three mic's.
Top one I bought 30 years ago? Garage sale, no name but ball end made easy to check tubing thickness.
Brown & Sharpe -- love that one. Catch is the .025 reading is off, but mic comes in on 0.000 0 -- just an odd thing to remember.
Starrett - 1" to 2".
Standard and dowel pin match! HoloKrome dowel, handy reference.
1930's ruler. All used by my father circa 1936 @ Lockheed Aircraft.
Pioneer at top. Cool leather sleeve
Caliper of the day!
Skinny thick starrett - depth tool?
Wider Starrett
My first set of Calipers. Purchased in 1976. Rebuilding Rotary Mazda's Need to check crank journals and housings. Box is marked Craftsmen (where I bought all my tools -- it's been a while).
4 tio 5" Mitutoyo. Fine adjust was missing, but with a light touch worked fine. I was milling cylinder heads, needed something bigger than the Craftsmen set.
