3 This section concerns so-called skill tools. A pair of calipers (in common terms, one caliper) is one of the oldest types of comparison measuring tools. They depend on feel to measure a part, transfer the dimension to a precision rule, micrometer or slide caliper, and get a good reading. This involves skill and experience. If used properly, calipers can measure to at least.004 or 0.01mm. Measuring with a caliper requires as light a touch as possible because most comparisons are made with rules, where the caliper is laid against the graduations, without the contacts touching anything. Calipers and dividers are offered in two general designs: spring-type and firm-joint. Spring-type calipers are tensioned against the screw adjustment, while the firm-joint is held by friction. Caliper sizes refer to the distance from the fulcrum to the end of the leg. The measuring capability of spring-type calipers and dividers is approximately the same as the size. The measuring capability of firm-joint and lock-joint calipers is approximately one-third more than the size. Caliper points are not hardened because they only compare measurements. The contact points can be easily shaped in whatever manner desired. All divider points however, are hardened. Dividers and trammels are usually set to rule graduations and can be set more accurately than calipers.

4 Toolmakers Spring-Type Calipers and Dividers with round legs and solid nut Nos. 274, 275, 277 Series 3, 6 (75, 150mm) Starrett Toolmakers Calipers and Dividers are the finest tools of their type. Designed for toolmakers and all good mechanics who require finer adjustment and better balance so a more sensitive feel can be obtained. Precision made to rigid Starrett standards throughout. The fulcrum stud is hardened and the bearing surfaces of the legs are large enough to prevent any side deflection. The bow spring is strong and flexible, and the adjustment is centrally located in the legs to assure smooth action. Left to right: No Inside Caliper, No , Outside Caliper and No Divider.

The legs are made from heavy square stock, machined to a smooth taper. The fulcrum stud is hardened and has a large bearing surface to prevent side deflection of the legs. The bow spring is both strong and flexible, and the adjustment screw is centrally located in the legs to assure smooth action. Furnished in either spring nut or solid nut models. The Starrett quick-adjusting automaticclosing spring nut is designed for making quick, positive adjustments. The threads of the nut firmly engage the screw at the slightest pressure from the leg. When the pressure is withdrawn, the nut automatically releases itself, sliding freely over the screw. Inside Calipers Size and Approx.

A spring washer under the disc maintains proper tension of the legs when the joint is unlocked. These calipers are also provided with an adjusting screw to permit fineadjustments for close measurements. After the legs have been set to approximate size and the joint locked, the final adjustment is made by a few turns of the knurled adjusting nut.

10 Lock-Joint Transfer Type Calipers with fine-adjustment No. 36 Series (Outside) 6-24 ( mm) No. 37 Series (Inside) 6-24 ( mm) One of the handiest and most versatile calipers ever made Starrett Lock-Joint Transfer Calipers have three key features a transfer arm, fine-adjustment screw, and locking joint. The transfer arm makes it possible to transfer measurements from the inside of chambered cavities, over flanges and other places where it is necessary to move the legs after they have been set to size. Simply lock the joint, loosen the transfer arm binding nut and swing the leg out or in to clear the obstruction. Then move it back against the transfer arm stop and the exact size can then be transferred to a rule or gage. The adjusting screw permits close adjustments for fine measurements. After the legs have been set to approximate size and the joint locked, the final adjustment is made by a few turns of the knurled adjusting nut. The joint can be quickly and firmly locked by a partial turn of the large knurled disc. A spring washer under the disc maintains proper tension of the legs when the joint is loosened. The legs are made from a high-grade steel and are well-shaped. They are ruggedly constructed and nicely finished. The sizes listed are the length of the legs. Their actual measuring capacity is about one-third greater than the size of the legs. Left, No outside model; right, No inside model. Measuring outside dimension. Checking inside groove.

11 Divider Ball Points with holder No. 88 Series 4, 7 1/2 (100, 188mm) These accessories are used with dividers and trammels when it is necessary to use a hole as a center point for layout, scribing and measuring. The ball point is placed in the hole and bears against the edge, forming a seat for the divider leg or tram. The set consists of either a 4 or 7 1/2 (100 or 188mm) holder with four balls. They are not recommended for exceptionally close work because it is impossible to keep them exactly in the center of the hole. Complete set No. 88A including holder and four balls.

12 Improved Trammel Heads with divider points, pencil socket No. 50 Series Used to measure the distance between points that are too great to be reached with dividers. The heads are die cast with black wrinkle finish and have hardened, forged steel divider points. The points screw into the heads, and the pencil socket accompanying each set of trammel heads can be used in place of either point. No. 50A has an adjustable point. Longer points (5 /125mm) are also available. A beam is not furnished with these trammels. The heads will accommodate a beam up to 3/8 (9.5mm) thick and 3/4 (19mm) wide. No. 50A Trammel Heads with points (adjustable point capability on right side head) mounted on beam (not furnished) for demonstration purposes. Pencil socket (lower left) can screw into a head in place of points if drawing (instead of scribing) is desired.

13 Trammel Heads, Divider Points, Attachments No. 59 Series The No. 59 Series is very useful for laying out and scribing circles beyond the capacity of ordinary dividers. The trammel heads have a clamping device that firmly holds various attachments. The attachments consist of two sizes of caliper legs, 6, 9 1/2 (150, 238mm), two sizes of divider points 6,9 (150, 225mm) which are eccentric for close settings, and a set of four ball points with holder. The ball points with 6 (150mm) holder are for scribing circles from the center of any hole up to 1 1/2 (38 mm) in diameter. One of the large caliper legs features a joint operated by an eccentric thumb piece for fine adjustments. A pencil may be clamped in either head in place of the caliper legs or divider points. The heads will accommodate any size beam from 3/4-1 1/2 (19-38mm) in width. Since beam length requirements vary widely, and they are easy for the user to fashion, we do not furnish a beam. No. 59F Set, complete (beam not furnished).

14 Steel Beam Trammels and Attachments No. C251 Series 10 1/2-20 ( mm) Beams A rigid, well-designed trammel for layout, scribing, and measuring distances and circles. The top of the beam is flattened so that when the trams are clamped in position, they will not turn from pressure on the points. The trams are held in place by spring friction, which prevents them from sliding when the nuts are loosened for setting. One tram has a fine-adjusting screw for the points. Each tram has a knurled swivel grip at the top that turns freely, making it very convenient to swing the tool when scribing circles. The 3 (75mm) points may be adjusted for length in the spring chucks and can be easily replaced with caliper legs or other attachments listed. The ball points with 3 (75mm) holder permit working from holes up to 1 1/2 (38mm) in diameter. A pair of 3 (75mm) caliper points is included with each trammel. J No. C251A.
