Precision measurements are a common element in many
industrial applications. Technicians need to deal with a wide array of values,
e.g., height, length, breath, and depth, on a daily basis. It is important that
all workshops have the right instrument to accurately measure and record these
values. Chances are you might have heard of Vernier height gages. This is a
special type of Vernier instrument that is used to measure the heights of
different engineering objects with high precision and accuracy. Additionally,
these gages typically comprise the following components: a base, a main scale,
a measuring jaw, a fine adjustment screw and a fine adjustment clamp. The sizes
of Vernier height gages range from 150 mm to 500 mm on average. If you are

a meat chopper. Starrett engages in the manufacture of consumer, professional
and industrial measuring and cutting tools.
In 1868, Starrett was appointed the superintendent and
