Abstract
A measuring device of the caliper type especially adapted to making inside diameter measurements. The caliper features the ability to change its set position and provide accurate measurements over an adjustable measurement range. The caliper is of compact configuration and is preferably formed from a single block of metallic material including machined features to provide a number of cooperating elements which are elastically coupled to one another. These features allow the separation distance between the probe tips to be adjusted without changing the output of the measuring device.
