Abstract
An adjustable gage is provided with a plurality of pairs of depth stops along the jaws or arms which support the pointed anvils which contact an internal or external cylindrical surface. By adjusting selected depth stops, an either retracted or extended positions, one pair of depth stops engages a rim or abutment surface of a cylindrical member, thereby insuring that the measurement anvils will contact diametrically opposite sides of the cylindrical surface to be measured along a plane which is substantially normal to the axis of the cylindrical surface. This avoids oblique misalignments of the gage and assures precise measurements.
