Use of Gages - Continued
Example 4:(fig. 4-13)
0.500 inch - Largest numbered graduation on the revolution line.
0.000 inch - Number of unmarked graduations between 5 and the edge of the thimble.
0.004 inch - Number of graduations between 0 on the thimble and the revolution line.
0.504 inch - The final correct reading. In this example the edge of the thimble appears to
coincide with the 0.500 graduation on the barrel. If this were true the 0 line on the
thimble would coincide with the revolution line; hence, the last figure of the final
reading cannot be 0.

Thickness Gage (fig. 4-14). The thickness gage, often referred to as a feeler gage, measures the clearance
or distance of separation between two surfaces that face each other.
(1)
The thickness gage contains several blades, each blade calibrated to a known thickness in thousandths
of an inch or in millimeters for metric sizes. Each of the blades is of a different thickness and each
blade has its thickness printed on the blade itself.
