[edit] German language info

The lever type is known in German as 'Fühlheber'. --LA2 23:48, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)

[edit] Geometry

After reading a couple paragraphs I still didn't understand the geometry of the thing being measured and the geometry of the probe that measures it. Are we measuring a gap with a conical probe? Is it like a feeler gague or is it like a caliper? Rtdrury 21:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

It is like a depth gauge; so it is like the depth gauge of a caliper, but spring-loaded to respond to changes the distance being measured. Hopefully it's clear from the pictures? jhawkinson (talk) 05:28, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Not SPC!

In the section titled "Digital Indiocator" th eauthor refers to the transmission of measurement data to a remote computer as "This process is known as Statistical process control (SPC)". This statement is incorrect. SPC involves much, much more than remote datalogging. 212.18.233.29 09:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] i study engineering and need some data

what about the mechanical comparator? also, what about i need to ask about certain specification in a certain instrument such as construction how to operate. are there links to see videos about something like that? or see it when we use it measuring anything?

thanks alot, i would be grateful if i took ur reply —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.233.90.143 (talk) 02:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

comparator is amplifier. amplifies 10 times the difference. USE:insert the gage block (test piece having precise dimension), set dial(of comparator) to zero, insert part to be checked, any variation will shown on the gage 10 times higher. One drawing available in tata mcgraw-hill publication "shop theory".pg.no. 115
Please see optical comparator or the reference desk. Wizard191 (talk) 14:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
