The joint allows for tension adjustment, while the tension will not\nchange if the legs move. Hermaphrodite calipers are used to scribe lines\nparallel to the workpiece edge, locating and testing centers, and other layout\nwork. Calipers measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object.\nThey make inside, outside, depth, or step measurements, according to their\ntype. Calipers are commonly used in architecture, metalworking, mechanical\nengineering, machining, manufacturing, carpentry, and medicine. The simplest\ncalipers have two legs to mark the two points and require a ruler to take the\nmeasurement. More complex calipers use two sets of jaws instead of legs and\nhave up to two graduated scales. Vernier, dial, and digital calipers give\ndirect and accurate readings and are functionally identical, having a\ncalibrated scale with a fixed jaw, and another jaw with a movable pointer that\nslides along the scale. The vernier caliper has a scale sliding parallel to\nthe main scale for an additional, fractional reading to improve measurement\nprecision. The dial caliper has a circular dial with a pointer on a toothed\ngear rack replacing the second vernier scale. As with the vernier, this second\nmeasurement is added to the reading from the main scale to obtain the result.\nThe dial caliper is used also for measuring size differential between two\nobjects. The digital caliper takes the same sort of differential measurements\nas the dial caliper by zeroing the display at any point along the slide, with\nan LCD (replacing the dial) that displays a single, easily read value in both\nEnglish and metric units. Some digital calipers can hold data readings between\nmeasurements and send them to data collection devices. The L. S. Starrett\nCompany was founded in 1880, originally manufacturing bench vises, squares,\nand other tools. They acquired other companies throughout the years, expanding\ntheir services into making precision measurement instruments and tools, such\nas calipers, micrometers, saw blades, and gauges.
