collinb Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 At an auction Tue evening (woodworking stuff) I saw a caliper that looked pretty useful. Went for more than I thought it would, but I can't seem to find them online. It's about 20" long with a triangle between the two tips, something like what I've put in the attached drawing. Anyone know about these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Looks like it may have been meant more as trammel points then calipers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The caliper portion had reasonable precision markings but the triangle seemed only for the angles. Perhaps a way to check an angle and get the length of one side without having to do the math?
