Jaques Easy Read Micrometer

[NJ Marty]

I picked up this cool Micrometer last week. I cant find much on it except a paragraph from google books dated 1919. Ill bet there are still plenty out
there but thought I would share.

Neat find. If there are plenty out there they must be hiding, because I've never seen one.

Link to the patents if anyone's interested.

Here's a scan of an 8-page catalog of the Jaques micrometer as sold by Union Tool Co., Orange, MA. I haven't found a date in it.
