Abstract
A portable precision measuring gage device for permitting rapid measurement of multiple dimensions of a work piece. The device includes a base, a plurality of guides held in an aligned position and a plurality of slides at least one of which is associated with each guide. Each slide includes upper and lower precision ground pads that are mounted on the top and bottom, respectively, of an outward extension of the slide so as to permit easy access for transfer measurement or for direct measurement of a selected dimension of a part. Each slide can be moved relative to its guide so that a dimension can be precisely transferred from a measuring standard to set the precise location of a pad, either upper or lower. The slide is then locked in position and the device can be readily hand carried to an inspection station, usually in a production area, where in-process and/or final precision inspections may be performed.
